2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · BH19 EPK

The 2019 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 22 August 2025 at 55,404 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the strongest outcome in the vehicle's entire history. The preceding test on 19 August 2024 at 41,692 miles tells a different story, failing on two tyre-related defects including nearside front tread below the 1.6mm legal minimum and offside front edge wear. The retest passed the same day, confirming the tyres were replaced promptly. This pattern suggests the previous owner corrected the issue rather than deferring it. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a seven-year-old vehicle. From 28,091 miles in August 2023 to 41,692 miles by August 2024, the car covered roughly 13,600 miles in twelve months. Then from August 2024 to August 2025, it added a further 13,712 miles, maintaining an annual rate close to 13,500 miles. That figure sits above the typical 7,915 miles per year implied by the headline average, meaning the vehicle has been driven steadily in recent years rather than sitting idle. No suspicious gaps or plateaus appear in the record. The most notable recurring theme is brake wear. In August 2023 at just 28,091 miles, the tester flagged front brake pads wearing thin, and the same test also recorded a defective nearside front side repeater light. The light was rectified before the pass, and no further brake defects have appeared since, but the early onset of pad wear at under 30,000 miles warrants attention. A buyer should inspect the current front brake pad thickness and disc condition directly, as well as checking whether the rear brakes are contributing proportionally to stopping effort or if the front axle is taking an unusually high share of load. The tyre failures in 2024 point to uneven wear patterns. Inspect all four tyres for edge wear, feathering, and sidewall condition, and verify wheel alignment settings. Uneven front tyre wear on this generation Qashqai often traces to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking, so a thorough check of front lower arm bushes, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar links is advisable before purchase.
