2020 Nissan Qashqai N-TEC DIG-T S-A 1.3L Petrol · CA20 DYC

A consistently clean MOT record across four consecutive tests, most recently on 26 March 2026, indicates that the vehicle has satisfied the statutory roadworthiness criteria without any recorded defects or advisories. No failures or advisory items appear in any of the entries, suggesting that, at the time of each test, the principal safety‑critical systems were judged to be within acceptable limits. The odometer reads 30,852 mi for a six‑year‑old 2020 Qashqai, equating to roughly 5,100 mi per annum. This annual accumulation is well below the typical UK average for a vehicle of this age, implying relatively light use. While low mileage reduces the expected wear on wear‑items such as brake pads, clutch components and tyre tread, age‑related degradation of rubber seals, hoses and bushings can still progress irrespective of distance travelled. The MOT history shows no gaps, confirming the vehicle has been tested annually without missed appointments. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded defects means the focus should shift to components that naturally age. During a test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking when traversing uneven surfaces, which could reveal worn suspension bushes or deteriorating control‑arm bushings. Pay attention to steering feel; any pull to one side or vibration may point to tyre wear irregularities or subtle alignment drift. When applying the brakes, note pedal firmness and any pulsation, which would suggest uneven disc wear or emerging pad thinning, even though no MOT advisory has yet flagged them. Given the vehicle’s age, a thorough visual inspection of the underbody for early corrosion, especially around wheel arches and suspension mounting points, is prudent. Examine the condition of the drive belts, coolant hoses and the battery terminals for cracking or leakage, as these elements can deteriorate with time regardless of mileage. A qualified pre‑purchase inspection that checks the condition of the suspension, steering rack, brake discs, pads and fluid levels, as well as a diagnostic scan of electronic systems, will provide the most reliable confirmation of the car’s current mechanical health before purchase.
