2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · FN12 SXK

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition. The most recent MOT on 8 August 2025 at 73,774 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, indicating a vehicle that meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,270 miles per year. The distance covered between the August 2023 test at 66,663 miles and the August 2025 test at 73,774 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 3,500 miles per annum. This low overall usage suggests limited wear on the drivetrain and interior, though it can sometimes indicate periods of inactivity. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no recorded advisories for brake wear, tyre tread, or suspension components across multiple years. While the records show failures on 16 August 2023 and 7 August 2024, these were resolved on the same day and the specific defects were not detailed in the summary. This typically points to minor issues that were rectified immediately during the test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or battery degradation. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points, as the lack of recorded structural failures in the MOT history does not rule out surface rust common to this age of vehicle.
