2007 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · KE07 AEU

The 2007 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 18 September 2024 at 150,145 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the three prior passing tests from 2021 to 2023 the vehicle also cleared without advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the last three years of official inspection. Recorded mileage sits at 150,145 against roughly 19 years of age, equating to about 7,900 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a vehicle of this period. The gap between the 18 November 2021 test at 130,821 miles and the 21 September 2022 test at 135,291 miles shows only light annual accumulation, while the jump to 142,255 by August 2023 and 150,145 by September 2024 suggests slightly heavier recent use. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, with a single failure on 9 September 2022 at 135,289 miles logged with no defects cited, immediately followed by a pass twelve days later at 135,291 miles. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and mileage, as these components accrue fatigue without necessarily triggering MOT advisories in a clean record. The unexplained 2022 failure with no recorded defect points to either a administrative test anomaly or an intermittent fault cleared before retest; a technician should verify the ABS, emissions readiness, and structural integrity underneath for corrosion. Given the Qashqai's age, the absence of advisories across five tests implies previous owners addressed issues pre-test rather than neglecting consumables, though the 2022 failure warrants confirmation that no recurring brake or lighting fault was masked. Physical checks of exhaust condition and tyre sidewall cracking remain prudent before purchase.
