2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · CF70 AOV

The vehicle remains roadworthy following the January 2026 test at 56,025 miles, which was conducted approximately five months ago. However, the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of deferred upkeep on consumables. While the tester passed the car, the history reveals recurring issues with tyre integrity and brake wear. The nearside rear tyre has been flagged for a cut since December 2023 and was recently noted as worn close to the legal limit with a distorted inner rim, suggesting the owner delayed necessary repairs. Rear brake pads were also listed as wearing thin across multiple tests between 2025 and 2026, showing a reluctance to service the braking system promptly. Mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage, averaging approximately 11,000 miles annually over the five-year period. The record shows a steady progression from 33,111 miles in December 2023 to 45,494 miles by January 2025, reaching 56,025 miles by the latest inspection. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline, and the odometer readings align logically with the vehicle's age, indicating the mileage is genuine and the car has been in regular use. You should thoroughly inspect the nearside rear wheel assembly, as the history documents a persistent tyre cut and a distorted inner rim that may require replacement. Given the January 2025 failure for an offside front tyre with exposed ply, a close examination of all tyres for uneven wear or structural damage is essential. The rear brake pads likely require immediate attention, as they have been flagged as thin for over a year without rectification. Ensure the daytime running lamps function correctly, as a bulb failure caused the previous test rejection.
