2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · NV60 AFE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-02 at 155,046 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend following a 2024-12-09 failure at 151,654 miles. The 2024-12-11 retest at 151,680 miles passed without issues, suggesting the prior failure was likely a minor, resolved fault. The 2023-12-16 test at 145,284 miles also passed, with no defects recorded. While the car has shown intermittent failures, the latest result confirms it meets current standards. However, the absence of detailed defect reports in the failed tests limits insight into specific concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 155,046 miles over 16 years aligns with an average of 9,690 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals, with no significant gaps between assessments. The 2023-12-08 failure at 145,242 miles and subsequent 2023-12-16 pass suggest a possible minor issue addressed promptly. The 2024-12-09 failure at 151,654 miles occurred just 18 days before the next test, raising questions about the urgency of repairs. Overall, the mileage and testing pattern indicate regular maintenance, though the lack of detailed defect records prevents a full assessment of underlying issues. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of wear in components prone to degradation over 16 years, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The absence of specific defect data in failed MOTs means potential issues—like binding calipers or corrosion—may have been resolved but warrant physical verification. Structural integrity should be checked, particularly for rust in common areas like sills or underbody panels. Given the car’s age and mileage, a thorough pre-purchase inspection of the drivetrain, exhaust system, and tyre condition is advisable to confirm the MOT records reflect ongoing roadworthiness.
