2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · KY12 AEB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2025 at 90,715 miles. This test was completed with no defects or advisories recorded, suggesting the car is in a healthy mechanical state. The absence of any flagged issues in the last two years indicates a vehicle that is currently meeting all legal safety and environmental standards. The mileage is typical for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 6,480 miles per year. The distance covered between the July 2023 test at 80,861 miles and the July 2024 test at 87,575 miles shows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 6,700 miles over the year. A smaller increase of 3,140 miles occurred between July 2024 and July 2025, which remains within expected parameters for a privately used vehicle. The MOT record contains a strange anomaly in July 2024, where the car failed twice on 17 July and 19 July before passing on 24 July. The records show no specific defects for these failures, which is highly unusual for official DVSA data. This lack of detail makes it impossible to determine if the failures related to minor consumables or more significant mechanical faults. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. While the recent clean sheets are encouraging, the unexplained failures in 2024 warrant a closer look at the brake discs and suspension bushes for any signs of rushed repairs. Checking for structural corrosion on the underbody is also advised given the vehicle's age, as these issues do not always appear immediately in the MOT history.
