2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PF09 ECW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a string of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 May 2025 at 173,341 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical requirements, as the car has failed to trigger any safety or environmental-related criteria during the annual testing cycle. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 111,812 miles and May 2025 at 173,341 miles, the car covered 61,529 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or extreme heavy use. This regular mileage often correlates with better maintenance of seals and mechanical components, though the total distance of over 173,000 miles places significant life- on the drivetrain and suspension assembly. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on high-mileage wear common to this generation of Nissan Qashqai. A buyer should examine the front control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade at this distance. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting is necessary, as the MOT only identifies structural rust once it reaches a point of failure. Testing the braking system for binding calipers or thin discs will also ensure that the high mileage has not resulted in uneven component wear.
