2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DL68 VYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a consistent pattern of reactive component replacement. In the most recent test on 29 January 2025 at 68,690 miles, the car passed despite notices regarding a damaged windscreen and an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a trend established in previous years where components were flagged only as they approached failure thresholds, rather than being addressed through preventative servicing. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 27,288 miles recorded between the January 2022 test (24,609 miles) and the January 2024 test (51,897 miles), followed by another 16,793 miles leading into the January 2025 result. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been subjected to typical long-distance commuting patterns, which explains the gradual wear seen on the high-friction components documented in the DVSA records. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and alignment, as the history repeatedly notes tyres being worn on the edge, specifically at 34,804 miles, 51,897 miles, and 68,690 miles. This recurring fault pattern often indicates incorrect wheel geometry or worn suspension bushes that have remained unaddressed. Furthermore, with the rear brake pads noted as thin in 2024, the remaining life of the pads and discs should be verified visually to ensure no further degradation has occurred since the last inspection.
