2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · BN69 VGL

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following its September 2025 test at 36,898 miles, though the maintenance trajectory shows a clear deterioration in braking components over the last twelve months. The tester recorded worn and pitted brake discs on both axles alongside thinning brake pads, repeating faults that first appeared in October 2024 at 32,272 miles. This persistent degradation indicates deferred servicing rather than sudden mechanical failure. The offside front tyre also developed surface cracking during the same period, pointing to prolonged exposure or infrequent rotation. Despite these advisories, the chassis and suspension systems remain unremarkable in the official records. At roughly 5,271 miles annually, the odometer reflects exceptionally low usage for a seven year old crossover. The gap between the clean September 2023 test at 24,642 miles and the October 2024 test at 32,272 miles reveals a rapid 7,630 mile jump in just eleven months, suggesting extended periods of storage followed by concentrated driving. The two year clean streak prior to 2023 further supports a pattern of light daily commuting punctuated by longer intervals where the vehicle sat idle. Low mileage does not automatically guarantee mechanical preservation, particularly when moisture and temperature fluctuations degrade rubber seals and brake surfaces over time. A prospective buyer must verify the current condition of the braking assembly before committing to purchase. The repeated disc scoring and pad wear demand immediate measurement of rotor thickness and pad depth, as continued operation will eventually compromise pedal feel and stopping distance. Inspect the offside front tyre closely for sidewall flex or internal belt separation, since surface perishing often masks deeper structural fatigue. Check the rear calliper pistons for corrosion or sticking, given the previous fluctuation advisory on the offside rear service brake. Verify that all suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust mounting points show no excessive play or rust, as these areas typically escape routine attention on low mileage vehicles.
