2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SD08 DXU

The most recent MOT on 20 May 2022 passed with no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle was roadworthy at that time. Isolated failures on 12 June 2021 and 23 March 2020 did not produce any defect listings, and subsequent passes suggest a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening one. The car has logged 117,961 miles at the 2022 test, averaging roughly 6,500 miles per year since its 2008 introduction. Between the June 2021 test (111,558 miles) and the May 2022 test the mileage rose by about 6,400 miles, consistent with typical usage. No abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods appear in the record; however, the MOT data stops four years ago, leaving the current mileage and condition unverified. Given the absence of recorded defects but the presence of two failures, a prospective buyer should scrutinise the suspension bushings, coil springs, and any signs of uneven tyre wear that could indicate alignment issues. Brake discs, pads and calipers merit a visual and functional check for binding or surface scoring. A thorough examination of the under‑body for corrosion, exhaust system integrity, and the condition of the steering rack will help confirm that no latent structural problems have emerged since the last test. A fresh MOT will be required to certify compliance.
