2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LS59 TXY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 10 October 2025 at 172,029 miles. While the recent history shows a period of instability during 2024, the maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle successfully addressed previous issues to achieve a pass without advisories. The transition from multiple failures to a clean certificate indicates that the previous owner was willing to rectify identified faults to bring the car back to legal standards. At 172,029 miles, this 17-year-old Qashqai has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a high concentration of activity between July 2024 and October 2024, where the vehicle covered only 749 miles across three separate testing attempts. This short interval suggests the car was either undergoing significant repairs or was used sparingly during that period. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent since the most recent test was completed roughly eight months prior to today's date. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as high-mileage vehicles frequently suffer accelerated wear on rubber bushes and control arms. Given the history of failures in mid-2024, it is essential to check for any binding calipers or worn brake discs that may have triggered those initial rejections. Attention should also be paid to structural integrity, particularly around the subframe and sills, as these are common points of corrosion for this generation of Nissan regardless of a clean MOT record.
