2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · VA61 CTX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on 24 June 2025 at 99,977 miles passed with no recorded defects. This followed a curious failure just four days prior at 99,973 miles, though the lack of recorded defects on that failure suggests an administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately. Since February 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean testing record across multiple consecutive annual passes. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,141 miles per year. This rate of use suggests regular local commuting rather than long-term stationary periods or heavy commercial application. There is a notable gap in testing between February 2023 at 88,319 miles and February 2024 at 95,866 miles, where the car covered roughly 7,500 miles in a year. The recent activity remains steady, with the accumulation of 3,045 miles between June 2024 and June 2025 indicating a return to more frequent usage. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that standard tests do not always capture. A buyer should examine the rubber-bound suspension components and control arm bushes for cracking, as these often perish on Qashqais of this era regardless of mileage. Checking for early-stage corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points is also advisable, as the record does not indicate any structural rust issues have yet reached a failure threshold.
