2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · DB02 AAB

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance record across its history. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 March 2026 at 47,786 miles passed with zero defects, mirroring the clean results from the previous two years. This consistent lack of failures suggests that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a high standard and that it has not suffered from significant mechanical or structural degradation that would typically trigger MOT failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns well with the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the March 2024 test at 24,230 miles and the April 2025 test at 38,129 miles, the car covered 13,899 miles, followed by another 9,657 miles prior to the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and preventing brake system components from seizing. While the MOT record shows no recorded advisories or faults, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear items that tests do not capture. Given the mileage is approaching 50,000 miles, the buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often begin to fatigue at this interval. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear and ensuring the tyre tread is uniform remains essential, as the MOT only checks for functional safety rather than the overall quality of the components.
