2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · LL10 YNC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 77,372 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a momentary failure occurred in June 2024, the immediate rectification followed by a clean pass in the subsequent year suggests that mechanical issues are addressed promptly and the vehicle remains in a functional condition. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,836 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 54,784 miles and June 2025 at 77,372 miles, the vehicle covered 22,588 miles over three years. This low usage rate suggests the car has been used for short trips or kept, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the ingress of moisture if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related wear rather than mileage. Given the age of the Qashqai, a close examination of the structural integrity is required to check for corrosion on the sills and subframes. The tester should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these can perish over time regardless of distance travelled. Since the record shows no recent advisories, verifying the brake discs and calipers for surface pitting or seized sliders is essential to ensure the low-usage pattern has not resulted in oxidation.
