2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · GK10 SVF

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass on 17 December 2025 at 154,802 miles. While the record shows immediate re-tests following initial failures in December 2024 and December 2025, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural issues rather than significant mechanical failures. The car currently holds a valid MOT certificate with no outstanding advisories, indicating that the primary safety systems were functioning within legal parameters at the time of the last inspection. The recorded mileage of 154,802 over sixteen years averages to approximately 9,675 miles annually, which aligns with standard usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The consistency of the annual testing cycle confirms that the car has remained in regular service without extended periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation of miles typically results in predictable wear on drivetrain and chassis components, rather than the accelerated degradation often seen in vehicles that sit idle for long durations. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and steering geometry, as these components endure the most stress at this mileage bracket. Although the MOT record is clear, it does not account for the condition of the clutch, flywheel, or turbocharger, which are common failure points for this specific Nissan powertrain. Check the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and sills, as the age of the vehicle makes it susceptible to structural oxidation that may not always trigger an immediate test failure. Confirm that the service history supports the MOT record, as a lack of documented oil changes could mask internal engine wear not captured by an emissions test.
