2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BD19 OSU

The 2019 Nissan Qashqai has a limited MOT history, with only one recorded failure in its 7-year lifespan. The most recent MOT entry on 2022-03-25 shows a fail for "Offside Front Headlamp aim too high" (4.1.2 (a)), which is a minor defect related to headlamp alignment. No other defects were recorded in the same test, and the vehicle was previously marked as passed on the same date at the same mileage (32,126 miles). This suggests a potential administrative error or confusion in the MOT record, but the failure itself is a straightforward repair. The vehicle’s mileage of 32,126 miles over 7 years equates to roughly 4,589 miles per year, which is significantly lower than average for its age. This could indicate light usage, infrequent driving, or periods of inactivity. While low mileage often correlates with reduced wear on components like brakes and suspension, it may also lead to issues such as battery degradation, fluid stagnation, or rubber component aging if the car has been stored for extended periods. However, the MOT history does not provide evidence of these issues. The pattern of defects is minimal and non-repeating. The single failure in 2022 was a minor alignment issue, and there is no indication of recurring or escalating problems.
