2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · KU12 WZF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test in December 2025 at 128,169 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first recorded concerns regarding tyre condition. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved three consecutive clean passes with no recorded defects, suggesting that primary mechanical components and structural integrity have remained within DVSA testing tolerances during that period. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,155 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 9,246 miles between January 2024 and December 2025. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of seals, bushings, and braking components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front axle area, as the December 2025 advisory flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This specific wear pattern often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension components like control arm bushes. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion and the condition of the exhaust system is also warranted, even though these have not been flagged in the recent history.
