2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · CF21 UFW

The Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 1 October 2025 at 22,998 miles passing cleanly with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator that the vehicle has been kept in sound mechanical order. The only advisory raised across the entire history was a minor tyre wear item in May 2024, which has since been resolved, suggesting the current owner has addressed basic consumable upkeep promptly. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2021-registered vehicle, averaging roughly 4,600 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 14,306 miles and the October 2025 test at 22,998 miles, the car covered 8,692 miles in twelve months, a significant jump compared to the 1,077 miles covered in the preceding seven-month window between May and October 2024. This suggests a period of very light use or potential standing followed by a return to regular driving. Such irregular patterns can sometimes lead to deterioration of rubber components, brake surface corrosion, or fluid degradation from prolonged stationary periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the undercarriage and suspension bushes, looking for signs of perishing or cracking that can develop on vehicles left standing for extended spells. The tyre condition flagged in May 2024 at 13,229 miles was a nearside front wear issue, so checking for uneven tread patterns or inner edge wear remains worthwhile to confirm correct wheel alignment. Brake discs and pads should be examined for lipping or surface corrosion, particularly if the car has seen short, low-speed journeys that prevent proper bedding-in. Given the clean recent pass, no serious structural or mechanical risks are flagged in the record, but a thorough test drive over varied road surfaces remains essential to verify the condition of shock absorbers, drop links, and exhaust mountings.
