2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · LL10 YSC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 123,553 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test but was rectified on the same day, suggesting the previous owner addressed specific fixable defects such as bulbs, wipers, or minor mechanical adjustments only when prompted by the MOT tester. At 16 years old, the recorded 123,553 miles represent an average of approximately 7,722 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for a family crossover. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 5,879 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle was not left stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent seal degradation and fluid contamination. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most prone to age-related wear despite the moderate mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the suspension geometry, control arm bushes, and coil springs is necessary as these parts often perish after sixteen years. The lack of recorded advisories in the latest test is encouraging, but the structural integrity of the rear sills and mounting points should be verified for corrosion, as common in this era. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and calipers for binding to ensure the recurring failures in previous years were not related to deeper hydraulic system issues.
