2012 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · SW11 NPO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 23 May 2025 at 76,558 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean record suggests that the previous owners have proactively maintained the Qashqai and that the mechanical safety components currently operate within acceptable parameters according to DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,468 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage between the August 2021 test at 57,272 miles and the 2025 test at 76,558 miles, representing an increase of roughly 19,000 miles over four years. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine de-stress components, the long intervals between annual tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or fluid breakdown which are not captured by mileage metrics alone. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection focused on age-related wear that stationary tests do not always catch. Particular attention should be paid to suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls as these can perish or crack over time regardless of low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, checking the chassis for surface corrosion on the underside and brake lines is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound for future tests.
