2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · FN62 NKP

The 2012 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a current clean pass recorded on 4 December 2025 at 118,102 miles. The most recent test shows no defects, and the prior four annual tests from November 2022 through December 2025 also returned passes with no advisories logged. The maintenance history indicates consistent statutory testing and no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed period. Annual mileage averages close to 8,400 miles, which is typical for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 95,278 miles at the 26 November 2022 test to 102,539 miles in November 2023, 108,978 miles in November 2024, and 118,102 miles by December 2025. The yearly increments sit between roughly 7,000 and 9,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps, suggesting steady private or light-use operation rather than fleet abuse or long standing periods. The DVSA data shows a failed test on 4 December 2025 at 118,102 miles carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same date with no defects. This pattern typically reflects an administrative or clerical rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the absence of any advisories across five years means no recurring wear items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion were flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody corrosion, and consumable components like tyres and wiper blades, since MOT passes with zero advisories do not certify component life remaining. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but at 118,102 miles the suspension and drivetrain warrant hands-on checks for age-related fatigue not captured in the test entries.
