2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SH10 VAY

The 2026‑04‑01 MOT at 139,789 miles classified the 2010 Nissan Qashqai as roadworthy, but recorded a corroded front coil spring and a near‑side front anti‑roll bar ball joint with slight play, indicating persistent suspension wear. Mileage has risen from 38,270 miles in March 2015 to 139,789 miles in April 2026, averaging about 8,737 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 16‑year‑old vehicle; however the jump from 125,738 miles in April 2025 to 139,789 miles in April 2026 represents an unusually rapid accumulation of 14,051 miles in one year, suggesting intensified use or a period of high kilometrage. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension bush and ball joint for excessive movement, verify that the coil spring shows no further corrosion, measure tyre tread depth to confirm it meets the 1.6 mm legal minimum, and examine brake discs for pitting or scoring while checking pad thickness, as recurring tyre wear and suspension play have been noted across multiple tests.
