2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FY08 GWD

The vehicle appears roadworthy based on the available data, showing a stable maintenance trend with a clean bill of health at its last inspection. The most recent test on 10 August 2024 at 165,321 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the car was in a compliant mechanical state nearly a year ago, though the current date of 9 July 2026 means the vehicle is now operating outside its last recorded MOT window. Mileage accumulation has been inconsistent over the last few years. Between June 2022 and July 2023, the odometer rose from 113,609 to 140,747 miles, an increase of roughly 27,000 miles in thirteen months. This period of heavy use contrasts sharply with the subsequent year, where the vehicle covered 24,574 miles by August 2024. While the overall average of 9,184 miles per year is typical for a 2008 model, these fluctuations suggest varying usage patterns. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage, with no recorded failures for mechanical defects or structural corrosion across five entries. The failures on 16 June 2022 and 30 June 2023 are listed without specific defects, which often indicates administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc wear, or exhaust leaks is atypical for a Qashqai with 165,321 miles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT record does not detail. Prioritise checking for underbody corrosion and the condition of the rear suspension components, as these are common failure points for this chassis. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded advisory trends, verify the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements to ensure the engine's long-term viability.
