2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DG19 GKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect records to emerging mechanical wear. While the car passed its previous four tests with zero defects, the March 2026 test at 21,677 miles flagged multiple issues regarding the braking system and tyres. This suggests that while the vehicle has been maintained, the low-mileage usage is now beginning to manifest as degradation that requires attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. Between 2022 and 2025, the car covered only 6,212 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or minimal use. However, the interval between March 2025 and March 2026 saw an increase of 4,365 miles, which represents a higher annual average. This uptick in usage often correlates with the accelerated wear of consumable components, as seen in the latest MOT report. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking assembly during a physical visit. The 2026 test noted pitting and scoring on both front and rear discs, which is a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary for long periods, allowing surface rust to take hold. The tester also identified front tyres wearing on the edges, which that typically points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage wear. Checking the suspension geometry and the condition of the brake pads is essential to ensure the uneven tyre wear does not indicate a deeper mechanical failure.
