2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BL68 UGC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 63,684 miles resulted in a pass but flagged both the offside rear and nearside front tyres as being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates a lapse in basic consumable management compared to the clean records seen in the preceding two years of testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a significant jump of over 21,000 miles between December 2021 and December 2022, followed by a steadier of roughly 3,500 to 13,000 miles annually thereafter. This usage suggests the car has been used for regular commuting rather than sitting stationary, which generally benefits components like seals and suspension from the corrosion and seizing issues often seen in long-term low-mileage vehicles. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and front end geometry during a physical evaluation. The December 2022 test at 44,205 miles identified thin nearside rear brake pads and a pitted disc, and while these were likely replaced given the subsequent clean tests, the edge wear noted on the tyres in 2025 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require attention. Check for uneven tyre wear across all four corners to ensure that the recent failures were not caused by a developing mechanical fault in the steering or suspension components.
