2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · PK70 AEO

The 2020 Nissan Qashqai remains roadworthy following the most recent DVSA examination on 19 September 2025 at 33,051 miles, which returned a pass after an anomalous same-day failure showing no recorded defects. Prior tests on 29 September 2023 at 16,992 miles and 14 September 2024 at 24,621 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the three-year record. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a vehicle of this age. The odometer advanced from 16,992 miles in September 2023 to 24,621 miles by September 2024, then to 33,051 miles by September 2025, averaging near 5,500 miles per year. No erratic jumps or missed test windows appear in the ledger. Such sparse but unblemished history suggests previous owners kept statutory maintenance punctual and presented the car in test-ready condition. The unexplained failure entry on 19 September 2025 warrants verification of the DVSA refusal reason to exclude clerical anomaly. Absence of recorded defects does not remove the need for hands-on inspection given the low annual mileage. Limited running and possible standing periods can conceal degraded suspension bushes, corroded brake discs, or stiff caliper slide pins that testers deemed within limits. Examine coil springs, underbody structural integrity for rust bloom, and tyre sidewalls for cracking. Conduct a cold-start check of exhaust emissions and confirm brake operation. The buyer should satisfy these points before purchase despite the clean MOT trail.
