2019 Nissan Rogue 2.5L Petrol · AD68 MXS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test on 28 May 2026 at 138,866 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior for critical front brake wear. The trend of thinning brake pads across both 2025 and 2026 suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when they threatened an MOT failure, rather than performing scheduled servicing between intervals. At 138,866 miles over seven years, this Nissan has averaged approximately 20,000 miles per year. This high-usage profile places significant strain on wear components, particularly the suspension and braking system. The vehicle covered 11,000 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 11,700 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This consistent accumulation indicates frequent long-distance driving, which aligns with the rapid depletion of front brake pads and tyres noted in the 2025 record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the nearside front driveshaft, which the tester flagged for a creak during the May 2026 test. Given the high mileage, this often indicates internal joint wear or bearing fatigue that will eventually require replacement. Furthermore, the recurring failures for thin brake pads necessitate a check of the condition of the front brake discs for glazing or deep scoring, as allowing pads to run so low often damages the rotors. The suspension bushes should also be inspected for tearing, as high-mileage usage typically accelerates the degradation of rubber components and shock absorbers.
