2007 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SH57 CFF

The most recent MOT on 2022‑07‑09 recorded a pass at 126,444 miles with only an advisory concerning the registration plate lamp. The history shows a clear improvement from the multiple failures and advisories between 2010 and 2016 to a single minor advisory, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained adequately since the 2016 test. The four‑year gap without an official inspection, however, raises a note of caution regarding recent condition verification. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s 19‑year life totals 126,444 miles, averaging roughly 6,660 miles per year, which is typical for its age. Early records (2010‑2016) reveal frequent tyre wear, suspension play, and brake pad thinning, while the period from 2016 to 2022 added only 18,655 miles, indicating reduced usage or periods of storage. The six‑year interval between the 2016 and 2022 MOTs represents a substantial inspection gap, limiting insight into recent wear trends. A buyer should personally check the registration plate lamp operation, inspect the front suspension for play in the lower ball joint and deteriorated rubber bushes on both suspension arms, and verify brake pad thickness, disc corrosion, and balanced brake force across the axles. The offside front tyre sidewall damage noted in 2013 and the recurring tyre‑tread advisories merit close inspection, as do split wiper blades and any rust on the rear brake discs. Given the extended MOT interval, a thorough pre‑purchase mechanical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s current roadworthiness.
