2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SP62 XKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 July 2025 at 143,143 miles. The record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories over the last three years. While the car failed its tests on 10 July 2025 and 4 January 2024, these failures were resolved within one or two days, suggesting a reactive approach to maintenance rather than systemic mechanical neglect. The mileage is typical for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 10,224 miles per year. The odometer readings show steady usage, increasing from 137,530 miles in January 2023 to 143,143 miles by July 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest the vehicle was abandoned or used for heavy commercial duty. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage of 143,143 miles necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these typically degrade by this age. The absence of advisories is positive, but it does not guarantee the current state of the brake discs or the presence of structural corrosion on the chassis and sills, which are common weak points for this model. The lack of documented faults suggests a well-kept vehicle, but the buyer must verify service records for oil changes and timing belt intervals. The MOT record confirms the car meets minimum legal standards, but it does not reflect the overall health of the drivetrain or engine internals. Focus the pre-purchase inspection on fluid leaks and the condition of the exhaust system to ensure long-term reliability.
