2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · PE12 CUY

This 2012 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates a clean and exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend, culminating in a pass on 11 June 2025 at 42,540 miles with zero defects recorded. The test history reflects a remarkably fault-free trajectory across recent years, aside from a procedural same-day fail and pass on 30 May 2024 at 34,514 miles which typically indicates an administrative correction or minor rectification rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Previous tests in June 2023 at 31,492 miles and May 2022 at 30,137 miles also resulted in clean passes without any advisory items noted by the examiners. The vehicle displays a very low mileage accumulation rate, averaging roughly 3,000 miles per year over its fourteen-year lifespan. The chronological data shows consistent, albeit modest, yearly usage patterns of approximately 1,300 to 8,000 miles between inspections, which confirms the car has not suffered from prolonged periods of abandonment or severe underuse. This gentle duty cycle reduces the overall fatigue on high-stress drivetrain components, though low-mileage vehicles still require careful verification of service fluids and rubber components that age chronologically. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on consumable items and subframe corrosion, despite the pristine MOT record. Because examiners rarely issue advisories on these specific certificates, a thorough ramp inspection remains essential to check rubber suspension bushes, brake discs, and structural chassis members for age-related perishing and surface oxidation. Testing the operation of the parking brake and listening for any suspension knocks during a dynamic test will complete a thorough assessment of this lightly driven crossover.
