2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PX09 XUN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a period of intermittent mechanical failures. The most recent MOT test conducted on 25 August 2025 at 164,892 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the immediate safety concerns identified in previous years have been addressed, and the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal requirements for road use. The mileage progression is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the car covered 10,651 miles, while it accumulated 16,994 miles between the September 2023 and August 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components despite the high total mileage typical of the Qashqai While the recent history is clean, the failures in 2022 and 2023 suggest that the vehicle is prone to reactive maintenance rather than preventativeicing. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension assembly, specifically checking for worn bushes and leaking dampers, which are common at this age bracket. Given the previous failures, close attention must be paid to the braking system for signs of excessive corrosion on calipers or thinning discs, as well as the condition of the rear-mounted control arms and ball joints to ensure no further mechanical issues are developing.
