2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · MM10 AAK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 February 2025 at 144,121 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently cleared the testing requirements following brief initial failures. While the record shows failures in January 2025 and February 2024, the lack of recorded defects on the subsequent passes suggests that any minor issues identified were rectified immediately prior to the re-tests. At 144,121 miles, the Qashqai has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The mileage accumulation shows consistent use, with roughly 5,500 miles covered between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 4,500 miles recorded between February 2024 and February 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and underbody, as the age and mileage typically result in wear on rubber bushes and coil springs. Since the MOT history shows no structural corrosion, the primary concern remains checking for surface rust on the sills and mounting points, which are common on this model. Inspect the braking system for signs of binding calipers or uneven pad wear to ensure the previous test failures were not related to recurring mechanical issues that could resurface under heavy use.
