2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SH58 WVC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent passing trend. The most recent MOT on 9 December 2025 at 150,333 miles was a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2022, indicating the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 17 year old vehicle. Between December 2022 and December 2025, the odometer rose from 127,346 to 150,333 miles, averaging roughly 7,662 miles per year over this period. A minor anomaly appears in December 2023, where the vehicle failed a test on 7 December at 136,304 miles before passing six days later at 136,330 miles. The record does not specify the cause of that failure, but the rapid resolution suggests a minor defect was corrected immediately. Despite the clean MOT records, the high total mileage of 150,333 miles necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade on Qashqais of this vintage regardless of MOT outcomes. Inspecting the brake discs for lip wear and the calipers for sticking is advisable given the vehicle's age. Particular attention should be paid to the underside for signs of corrosion, specifically around the sills and rear subframe. While the tester flagged no structural integrity issues in the recent tests, surface rust often precedes the failures seen in older Japanese chassis. Checking the service history for timing chain or belt replacements is essential to ensure the engine's long-term reliability.
