2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PF10 VWM

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, though the record indicates a pattern of inconsistent testing. The most recent test on 10 January 2024 at 183,130 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior at nearly identical mileage. This suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial defect that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle has cleared without advisories in the last three successful inspections. At 183,130 miles over sixteen years, this Qashqai has averaged approximately 11,446 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage between test intervals, with roughly 9,800 miles covered between January 2022 and January 2023, and another 16,247 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2024. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent components like seals and brake lines from drying out. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas common to high-mileage Nissans. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the suspension arm bushes, coil springs, and drop links is essential to identify rubber tearing or play. The buyer should also inspect for corrosion on the rear sills and subframe, as these are frequent points of structural weakness on this generation. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, the high mileage suggests that drivetrain components and shock absorbers may be nearing the end of their operational life.
