2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SL59 FSJ

A remarkably consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a total absence of advisories or recorded defects across its recent testing history. This stable trend is reinforced by the clean pass achieved on 17 March 2026, suggesting a mechanical condition that deviates from the typical wear-and-tear patterns usually associated with a vehicle of this vintage. The recorded mileage of 88,118 miles is significantly low for a seventeen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,183 miles per annum. Such a low accumulation rate indicates that the drivetrain and chassis have been subjected to far less operational stress than average, though it also suggests a usage profile characterized by either light duty or extended periods of inactivity. Given the lack of flagged defects in the DVSA history, the physical inspection should focus on confirming that the vehicle's condition matches its clean paper trail. During a test drive, pay close attention to the suspension bushes and steering rack for any knocks or play, as these are common wear points for this model that may not yet have reached a failure threshold. Listen for any unusual drivetrain noises during gear changes or acceleration to ensure the low mileage has not masked issues related to infrequent use. Check for any signs of oil misting around the engine bay or evidence of fluid leaks on the driveway, as these often precede the types of advisories absent from this record. Ensure the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent without judder, verifying that the braking system remains efficient and the calipers are not binding despite the low annual mileage.
