2021 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · AF71 YTC

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive consumable replacement. The most recent test on August 6, 2025 at 60,824 miles flagged thin rear brake pads as an advisory. While the vehicle passed without failures, this note suggests that the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval and requires immediate attention to prevent damage to the rotors. The vehicle has covered a significant distance for its five-year age, averaging approximately 12,165 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 46,375 miles and the August 2025 test at 60,824 miles, the Qashai covered 14,449 miles in just ten months. This high rate of use places accelerated stress on the CVT gearbox, suspension bushings, and cooling components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the thin rear pads have not caused uneven wear or scored the discs. The 2024 record noted a cut in the nearside rear tyre and a nail in the nearside front, indicating a history of minor road-related damage that warrants a thorough check of the remaining sidewalls for structural bulges. Given the high mileage, verifying the condition of the control arm bushings and shock absorbers is also essential to ensure the high-frequency components have not worn prematurely under constant use.
