2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · WU59 YAX

This Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on September 1, 2025, at 120,545 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 17 year old vehicle. It covered 6,417 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, and a further 5,017 miles leading up to the September 2025 test. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on October 10, 2024, though the lack of recorded defects for either entry suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the absence of advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody for corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often wear without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Checking the service history for evidence of timing chain or belt replacements and oil changes is essential to verify that the mechanical health matches the clean testing record. Attention should be paid to the brake discs and pads to ensure they are not near the end of their service life. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the health of the exhaust system and checking for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox will complete a thorough assessment. The data suggests a well-kept car, but physical verification of these high-wear components is necessary to confirm the long-term viability of the drivetrain.
