2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · GD10 FZW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 June 2026 at 75,458 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a failure in mid-2024. Since that failure, the car has undergone two consecutive clean tests with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the previous owner addressed the identified mechanical issues and maintained a stable standard of care thereafter. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,458 miles is significantly low, averaging only approximately 4,700 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent over the last three years, with roughly 5,400 miles driven between June 2023 and June 2026. While low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it can also increase the risk of rubber components degrading or brake seizing due to long periods of inactivity. The failure in June 2024 at 64,870 miles highlighted a split nearside front outer drive shaft boot and a worn tyre. While these were rectified to pass the subsequent re-test, a buyer should still inspect all drive shaft boots for signs of grease leakage or cracking to ensure the CV joints are not failing. The edge wear noted on the tyre in 2024 suggests a past alignment issue which should be verified by checking for even wear across the current tyres. Given the age of this Nissan Qashqai, physical inspection should focus on structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and subframe for corrosion which the record does not yet flag rust. The buyer should also examine the suspension bushes and bushings for perishation, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related material fatigue rather than mechanical wear. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests the vehicle is currently in good mechanical condition relative to its age.
