2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · OY59 UGT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 18 February 2026 at 149,076 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a pattern of immediate failure followed by successful retests. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed within days of the initial appointment, suggesting the owner addresses specific faults only when prompted by a testing failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 8,554 miles, followed by 11,313 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the latest test. This relatively steady usage indicates the vehicle has been subjected to regular driving rather than long periods of stagnation, which often helps prevent internal engine corrosion and seal degradation. The lack of significant advisories on the passing records indicates that the components are currently meeting minimum safety standards. Despite the clean pass sheets without recorded advisories, the high mileage and age necessitate a thorough physical inspection of components prone to wear on this model. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes for perish and check the coil springs for fractures, as these often degrade at this mileage bracket. Given the history of recent minor failures, a close check of the brake system for binding calipers and the structural integrity of the chassis underside is essential to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing that the tester has not yet flagged.
