2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · FY21 AHA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following a clean pass in its most recent test on October 2025 at 28,623 miles. While the record shows a failure three days prior at 28,424 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately without escalating into mechanical failure. Since that period, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without advisories or defections. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Between February 2024 and October 2024, the car covered only 2,288 miles, indicating periods of very light use. The jump of 9,792 miles between October 2024 and October 2025 represents a significant increase in usage, yet the total remains well below the national average for its age. This low mileage generally suggests reduced mechanical wear on the drivetrain and rubber-based suspension components. Given the lack of recorded faults in the MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low mileage rather than wear. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which occurs when vehicles sit stationary for long periods, leading to binding calipers. Check the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or rot, as these materials age regardless of distance driven. The clean history indicates no structural integrity issues or recurring mechanical failures, but the buyer should verify that the service history matches the intervals suggested by the low mileage.
