2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · DL70 XFE

This 2020 Nissan Qashqai has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness across all MOT tests, with the most recent inspection on 8 April 2026 confirming no defects at 39,595 miles. The absence of advisories or failings over four consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline level, though no record of pre-MOT servicing or repairs is provided. The clean pass in April 2026—just three months prior to today—indicates the vehicle remains compliant with current UK roadworthiness standards, though a thorough in-person inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The mileage progression reveals a steady but modest annual average of approximately 6,600 miles, aligning with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity between tests, with the most significant mileage increase of 9,760 miles occurring between the October 2023 and April 2024 tests. This suggests consistent, if not heavy, usage without extreme neglect. The gap between the April 2024 and October 2023 tests—just 16 months—also implies the vehicle was regularly driven rather than stored, which could mitigate some wear from prolonged inactivity. Given the lack of recorded defects, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components that are not routinely checked in MOTs. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are critical for handling and safety but often go unnoticed until failure. Brake systems warrant close scrutiny, including disc thickness, caliper binding, and rotor runout, especially if the vehicle has covered significant mileage between services. Additionally, check for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as this is a common issue for Qashqai models exposed to UK road conditions. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related faults are not always captured in MOT records.
