2007 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · HJ07 LJC

The 2007 Nissan Qashqai has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across all tests, including the most recent examination on 2026-01-05. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend, though the unusual double entry in late 2024—where the vehicle was tested twice on the same date—may indicate a minor administrative oversight rather than a mechanical issue. The final pass in January 2026, just seven months ago, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current DVSA standards, but the lack of advisories or faults does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components. The recorded mileage of 141,171 miles over nearly 19 years aligns with typical usage patterns for this age, averaging around 7,430 miles annually. There are no evident gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation, though the sparse MOT record—particularly the absence of advisories between tests—does not provide insight into intermediate maintenance. The most recent MOT was conducted at 138,000 miles, implying roughly 3,000 miles since then, a rate that could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes if not addressed. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, focusing on worn or leaking coil springs, degraded bushes, and binding calipers—common issues in high-mileage Qashqais. The brakes, while not explicitly failed, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion on the discs, particularly if the vehicle has seen wet or salted roads. Structural integrity remains a concern for this age, so a thorough examination of the underbody for corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe is essential. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, so visual and tactile checks are critical.
