NISSAN QASHQAI2019 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent July 2025 MOT at 104,844 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, as the 2024 and 2023 tests at 92,084 and 74,905 miles respectively also passed without issues. However, a failed test on 2022-04-08 at 52,537 miles—despite no defects being listed—suggests potential unresolved concerns. The absence of recorded faults in subsequent tests implies corrective action was taken, but the lack of detail limits definitive assessment. The vehicle’s mileage of 104,844 miles over seven years equates to an average of 14,978 miles annually, which is notably high for its age. A significant jump from 52,537 miles in April 2022 to 74,905 miles by March 2023—over 22,368 miles in 11 months—indicates rapid usage, potentially accelerating wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The MOT history lacks gaps, suggesting consistent testing, but the high annual mileage raises questions about the frequency of servicing and maintenance beyond legal requirements. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn coil springs or degraded bushes, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The rear brakes, particularly if the 2022 failure involved braking components, warrant close examination for corrosion or binding. Additionally, the exhaust system and structural integrity should be checked for rust or damage, as these are common concerns in older vehicles with elevated mileage. The absence of recurring defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the vehicle’s usage pattern necessitates thorough mechanical scrutiny.
