2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · MA60 MFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 4, 2026 at 105,927 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach, as evidenced by a failure just one day prior to the successful test due to a split offside front inner drive shaft constant velocity boot. While the immediate mechanical defect has been rectified, the history suggests the owner only addresses faults when prompted by an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 105,927 miles over sixteen years, this Qashai has averaged approximately 6,620 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage for its age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 1,800 miles driven between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 3,000 miles in the year leading up to the recent failure. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though rubber components may still be aging despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer should inspect the offside front drive area to ensure the replacement CV boot is fitted correctly and no grease leakage has contaminated the joint. The 2025 failure noted a nearside front tyre worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension components like the front control arm bushes. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough physical inspection for structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust lines is essential, as these are common areas of failure on this model that are not always captured in minor MOT advisories.
