2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · CE21 MYP

The 2021 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-02-20 at 17,510 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over three consecutive tests, including the 2025-02-25 and 2024-01-29 assessments, with no emerging mechanical or structural issues. This suggests the previous owner prioritized regular maintenance, though the absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear from low-mileage usage. The mileage progression reveals a gradual accumulation of 6,669 miles over 22 months, averaging 3,031 miles annually. This rate is below the typical 6,000–7,000 miles per year for a five-year-old vehicle, indicating either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The 11-month gap between the 2024 and 2025 MOTs, followed by another 11-month interval to the 2026 test, may reflect extended storage or minimal driving, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, and suspension bushes. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of inactivity-related degradation, such as dry-rotted tyres, corrosion on underbody components, or stiffness in suspension joints. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the low mileage warrants scrutiny of the exhaust system for carbon buildup and the braking mechanism for potential binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the records, so a physical inspection of the chassis and body panels for rust or damage is advisable.
