2009 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · LS09 KUA

The 2025‑08‑04 MOT at 78,108 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the Nissan Qashqai is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend, as each test since 2023 has produced a pass despite earlier administrative failures on the same date. At 78,108 miles the vehicle averages roughly 4,600 miles per year over its 17‑year life, a figure that is low for its age and suggests periods of limited use. Mileage accumulation accelerated between 2023 and 2025: from 60,931 miles on 31 July 2023 to 68,967 miles on 5 August 2024 (≈8,000 miles in 12 months) and then to 78,108 miles on 4 August 2025 (≈9,100 miles in the following 12 months), indicating a recent increase in usage while the overall average remains modest. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, sagging coil springs and any play in the rear binding calipers, while also examining the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear and the structural chassis for rust around the wheel arches and sills. The exhaust system should be inspected for corrosion and the tyre tread depth, as the low annual mileage does not guarantee even wear. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the documented history, but the absence of recorded defects in previous tests does not replace a physical inspection; the buyer must verify that the suspension components, brake assemblies and structural integrity remain sound, and confirm that any previous advisories have been fully remedied before purchase.
