2021 Nissan Qashqai Tekna Digt Mhev 4X4CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric · DL71 XMV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the emergence of minor suspension-related wear. The most recent test in October 2025 at 27,879 miles identified an advisory for slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. This represents a minor mechanical degradation from the previous year's failures, suggesting that the suspension components are beginning to show signs of age despite the relatively low overall mileage. At 27,879 miles, the mileage is significantly low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,576 miles per year. The gap of 4,718 miles recorded between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests indicates consistent, low-intensity usage. While low mileage generally implies less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and braking system, it can sometimes lead to rubber components drying out or cracking over time, as seen with the condition of the CV boot noted in the earlier history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front drive shaft constant velocity boot, which was flagged as severely deteriorated in October 2024 at 23,161 miles. If this was not replaced, grease leakage may have commenced, leading to premature joint failure. The buyer should also verify the repair of the nearside anti-roll bar ball joint to ensure the play has not worsened into a structural failure. Checking that the windscreen damage and wiper blades noted in 2024 have been addressed is also essential, as these are basic items that affect visibility.
