2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BN69 WDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent history reveals a significant lapse in maintenance standards prior to the latest pass. While the car passed in October 2025 at 74,387 miles, it failed a test just three days prior at 74,371 miles. This indicates the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by a legal failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The trend is currently reactive, as multiple mechanical and safety components reached failure points simultaneously during the most recent interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 33,437 miles in August 2022 to 47,162 miles in August 2023, and reaching 60,231 miles by October 2024. This regular usage suggests typical wear, yet the rapid accumulation of 14,156 miles between the last two tests correlates with the sudden onset of heavy wear observed on the tyres and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The October 2025 failure flagged a fractured offside rear coil spring and a loose offside track rod end, which suggest the steering and suspension geometry are under stress. Furthermore, recurring reports of thin brake pads in both 2022 and 2025 indicate a pattern of neglecting consumable items until they become hazardous. The uneven wear noted on the tyres in 2025 also points to potential alignment issues that need to be verified to prevent premature damage. The history also notes persistent oil on the under tray recorded in 2022 and 2023. While these were not classified as failures, the presence of oil leaks over multiple years warrants a physical check of engine seals to ensure the leak is not escalating. Given the reactive nature of the recent mechanical repairs, the buyer should verify that all work following the October 2025 failure were executed with quality parts rather than temporary fixes.
