2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · KT09 VYN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 December 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner addresses specific mechanical failures immediately upon testing. A failure just six days prior to that pass at 149,884 miles for an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint was clearly rectified to secure the passing certificate. This suggests the owner is willing to invest in necessary safety repairs once they are flagged. At 149,887 miles, the Qashqai has averaged approximately 8,800 miles per year over its seventeen years, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a family vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 3,000 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 3,012 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle does not suffer from long periods of stationary neglect. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the December 2025 failure indicates wear in the ball joints which may affect related components like tie rods or control arms. The 2024 failure for thin rear brake pads highlights that consumable items are replaced only when they reach failure limits, so a current check of remaining pad and disc thickness is essential. Given the 2023 advisories regarding uneven tyre wear, a professional alignment check should also be verified to ensure the geometry is not out of and causing premature degradation of the tyres.
