2007 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Diesel · RV07 AAU

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 114,514 miles with no recorded defects. Over the last decade the pattern of findings shows a largely stable maintenance record; occasional consumable wear and a single CV boot deterioration have been noted, but no recurring structural failures have emerged. At 114,514 miles the Qashqai averages roughly 6,000 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within the expected range for a 2007 model. The mileage progression is consistent – from 68,684 miles in August 2015 to 89,124 miles in September 2020, then to 101,340 miles in March 2023 and 114,514 miles in February 2026 – indicating regular use without prolonged idle periods or sudden spikes in distance. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension and drivetrain. The 2022 MOT flagged slight play in both nearside and offside front anti‑roll‑bar linkage ball joints, suggesting wear in the bushings that may require inspection or replacement. The 2025 test highlighted a severely deteriorated CV boot on the offside front inner drive‑shaft joint, a condition that can lead to joint failure if not addressed. Front brake pads were reported as thin in 2018 and 2019; although they have likely been replaced, verification of pad thickness and disc condition is prudent. Tyre wear was noted in 2023, so a visual check for tread depth, sidewall cracking and uniformity is advisable. Finally, the 2014 and 2013 failures concerning windscreen wipers, headlamp operation and aim indicate that the lighting and visibility systems should be confirmed as functional and correctly aligned. No evidence of corrosion or structural rust appears in the record, but a thorough visual inspection of the chassis and under‑body remains sensible.
