2021 Nissan Qashqai Tekna + DIG-T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric · BT71 VLM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward consumable wear. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 60,010 miles passed but noted an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This indicates that while the vehicle remains mechanically sound for operation, the braking system is now reaching the end of its service interval and requires immediate attention to prevent a future failure. The car has covered 60,010 miles over approximately five years, averaging roughly 12,000 miles per annum. This mileage sits above the national average for a passenger car, suggesting consistent regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. Between the November 2024 test at 50,986 miles and the November 2025 test, the vehicle covered 9,024 miles. This steady accumulation is consistent with the wear patterns expected on drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the rear pads have been replaced since the last MOT. Given the previously recorded advisory for thin pads, it is essential to check the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear which could indicate a binding caliper. The higher mileage also necessitates a thorough check of the suspension geometry, specifically the bushes and coil springs, as these components often begin to degrade after the 60,000-mile mark.
