2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · NG10 DXC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 24 September 2025 at 110,620 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failure followed by rapid rectification. In both 2023 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test but passed the re-test within a week. This indicates that the previous owners were proactive in addressing identified defects immediately to meet legal standards rather than allowing mechanical or safety issues to persist. The mileage profile is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. A significant gap of 23,263 miles occurred between the April 2022 test (62,787 miles) and the May 2023 test (86,050 miles), followed by a similar accumulation of 24,570 miles between May 2023 and September 2025. This steady usage suggests consistent driving patterns which generally reduces the risk of perished rubber components or seized associated with long periods of standing, though it places standard wear on the suspension and drivetrain. Because the records show no specific recorded defects on the failed entries, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of common Qashqai failure points. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, focus on the structural integrity of the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points where corrosion is known to manifest. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or tearing, and check the brake calipers for binding or uneven wear. The lack of advisories in the latest test suggests the vehicle was in good condition then, but the recurring failures highlight that certain components require frequent attention as they reach the end of their service life.
