2010 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Diesel · WP59 WCE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite occasional initial testing failures. The most recent MOT test on 23 October 2025 at 158,215 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded following a failure on the same day. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing immediate faults to maintain legal roadworthiness, and the vehicle has maintained a clean record without recorded advisories across the last three successful tests. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered 13,242 miles, moving from 132,356 to 145,598 miles. The subsequent year saw another 12,617 miles recorded leading up to the October 2025 test. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which helps to prevent seal degradation and fluid breakdown within the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components, given the high-mileage profile. While the record shows no specific advisories, the 158,000-mile mark puts significant stress on rubber bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Check for signs of structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust mounting points, as older Qashqai models are prone to rust in these areas. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for thinning and binding calipers to ensure the recent MOT passes reflect genuine mechanical health rather than just temporary fixes.
