2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · KY12 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test, conducted on 18 October 2025 at 124,742 miles, yielded no defects or advisories. This suggests a proactive maintenance approach where the previous owners have addressed potential mechanical issues before they resulted in failures, maintaining a clean record over the last five years. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 98,790 miles and October 2025 at 124,742 miles, the car covered 25,952 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 6,500 miles annually during that period. This regularity indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to fluid degradation and seized seals or corrosion on braking components. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage wear items typical for a Qashqai this age. A buyer should inspect the suspension for perished bushes or worn coil springs, as these often degrade after 120,000 miles despite a clean MOT. Checking the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of the rear calipers is also necessary, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency and binding rather than remaining life.
