2007 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · YX07 OVY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable but somewhat reactive maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 103,277 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior. This pattern suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure legal compliance, though the recurring single-day failures indicate that mechanical or safety components are being addressed only when prompted by inspection. At 103,277 miles over 19 years, this Qashai averages approximately 5,400 miles per year, representing significantly low usage for its age. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 6,300 miles covered between August 2023 and 2024, and another 6,200 miles between August 2024 and 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion due to inactivity rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the record does not specify the exact mechanical faults. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, pay attention to perished suspension bushes, split coil springs, and leaking shock absorbers which fail over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake discs for heavy pitting or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles are prone to brake oxidation. Check the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for hidden rust, which often affects older vehicles of this era.
