2008 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · NB08 AAV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The final test conducted in February 2023 at 116,259 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. This followed a pattern of immediate passes in both 2021 and 2023, suggesting that the previous owners were proactive in rectifying minor failures quickly to maintain a clean certificate. At 116,259 miles over 18 years, the Qashqai averages 6,459 miles per annum, which aligns with typical light usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, such as roughly 6,500 miles covered between December 2020 and December 2021. This low and steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive long-distance stress, which often preserves the drivetrain but can increase the risk of perished rubber components. However, given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT test in over three years, leaving a significant gap in data regarding its current state of mechanical integrity. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components, as the record does not detail structural corrosion or bushing wear. Given the age and the extended period since the last test, checking for rust on the subframe, exhaust system, and coil springs is essential. One should also examine the braking system for signs of seized calipers or pitted discs, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion when sitting. Because the MOT is now expired, a fresh pre-purchase inspection is mandatory to ensure no new mechanical faults have developed since the 2023 entry.
