2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · LC57 VCX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 153,000 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all legal and safety standards. While a failure was recorded in June 2024 at 147,149 miles, the immediate pass twenty-four hours later suggests the owner addressed the identified fault promptly to keep the vehicle roadworthy. At 153,000 miles over 18 years, this Qashqai averages 8,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady accumulation with regular intervals of roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles between annual tests from 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and internal corrosion of braking system components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear on this specific model. Although the record is clean of recurring advisories, the age and mileage necessitate a close check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue. Given the vehicle's age, inspecting the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points is also essential, as MOT tests only flag rust once it reaches a specific depth of structural integrity.
