2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SH08 UGC

The vehicle emerged from its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 with a PASS at 129,020 miles, indicating that, at the time of testing, it met the statutory roadworthiness standards. A prior failure on 22 January 2026, despite no defects being logged, suggests an administrative discrepancy rather than a recurring mechanical issue; the subsequent pass points to a stable, if not slightly improving, maintenance pattern. Across an 18‑year lifespan the Qashqai has accumulated 129,020 miles, averaging roughly 7,200 miles per year. The recorded mileage progression—123,649 miles in January 2024, 126,767 miles in January 2025, and 129,020 miles in January 2026—shows an incremental rise of about 2,300 miles each year, well below the average for its age. No abrupt jumps or unexplained gaps appear in the record, implying consistent, low‑intensity use rather than periods of heavy mileage accumulation. Prospective owners should verify that the undocumented failure on 22 January 2026 does not mask a latent fault. A hands‑on inspection ought to include a visual check of tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, an assessment of brake performance and caliper operation, and a review of suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for wear or corrosion. Light and exhaust system functionality should be confirmed, and a close look at the chassis for any rust or structural compromise will complete a prudent pre‑purchase appraisal.
