2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SL60 OVP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 19 June 2025 at 79,976 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between July 2023 and June 2024, where the odometer rose from 62,486 to 70,850 miles. In contrast, the usage between June 2024 and June 2025 was slightly lower, adding 9,126 miles. This variation suggests a shift in usage patterns rather than long periods of stagnation. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no advisories for brake wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion across multiple tests. While this implies a well-maintained vehicle, the absence of any flagged consumables is rare for a sixteen-year-old car. A buyer should manually inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the rubber components of the suspension for perishing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation despite low wear. Check for signs of oil leaks or perished belts during a physical inspection. The record shows two instances where the car failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 18 June 2024 and 17 June 2025. Since no specific defects were listed for these failures, they likely related to minor administrative errors or quick-fix items like wiper blades or bulbs. Confirm the current tyre depths and date codes to ensure they have not hardened over time.
