2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · GL61 AEC

The 2012 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 17 October 2025 at 120,950 miles showing no defects. Prior tests in October 2024 at 119,716 miles and October 2023 at 111,940 miles also recorded clean passes with no advisories. The vehicle's upkeep has remained consistent across the available record, with no worsening mechanical faults surfacing over the last three years. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 8,639 miles per year for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, with the record showing 93,829 miles in October 2022 rising to 111,940 miles by October 2023, then 119,716 in October 2024 and 120,950 in October 2025. The largest annual jump of 18,111 miles between 2022 and 2023 reflects a period of heavier use, while the final year added only 1,234 miles, suggesting reduced running recently. The DVSA data is sparse, covering just five entries, yet every pass bar one anomalous failure carries a clean sheet with no advisories logged. The October 2023 failure at 111,940 miles listed no defects, with a pass issued the same day on retest, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity, as the MOT history records no advisories that would flag wear in these areas. Given the age and the low final-year mileage, check for corrosion on chassis members and assess tyre sidewall condition, since standing time can degrade rubber and hidden structural components despite a clean test sheet.
