2007 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · ST57 MVR

The overall roadworthiness of the 2007 Nissan QASHQAI is currently unstable , as evidenced by the inconsistent MOT record spanning from 2025 to 2023. While the most recent test in January 2025 was successful, the vehicle has failed twice in a row between 2023 and 2025, indicating a persistent mechanical issue rather than a temporary failure. This pattern suggests a lack of consistent upkeep, with the car likely experiencing a gradual deterioration in suspension components or brake systems that has been exacerbated by the rapid mileage accumulation over the past five years. The mileage profile shows a significant gap between the first successful test in January 2025 and the second failure in December 2023, with no clear evidence of a sudden loss of performance or a rapid acceleration of wear. The vehicle maintains a consistent mileage of approximately 124,000 miles annually, which aligns with its age but does not indicate a specific cause for the failure. While the 2025 test was clean, the failure in 2023 suggests that the 2025 inspection may have been conducted on a vehicle that had not yet reached the same mileage threshold, or the 2025 record is a recency check rather than a full service history. The data points to a stable trend of mechanical wear that has not been addressed, making the 2025 inspection a necessary precautionary measure. Given the recurring faults and the vehicle's age, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for binding rear brakes, suspension bushes, and coil springs, as these components are the most likely candidates for failure based on the MOT failure history. While the 2025 test was clean, the subsequent failure indicates that the 2025 inspection may have been performed on a vehicle that was not yet at the same mileage, or the 2025 record is a recency check rather than a full service history. The vehicle's mechanical integrity appears to be compromised, and the lack of a clear pattern of maintenance suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped, leaving the car vulnerable to further deterioration.
