2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DM19 CPU

The 2019 Nissan Qashqai passed its most recent MOT on 27 June 2025 at 41,106 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the past three tests, as all prior MOTs—including the 2024 and 2023 examinations—also resulted in clean passes with no mechanical or structural failings. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, upkeep, though the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude underlying issues not captured by the MOT test. The most recent test occurred just over a year ago, which is within the acceptable window for a used-car purchase, though a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify the condition of non-MOT-tested components. The mileage progression indicates unusually low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,872 miles over seven years—a rate significantly below the UK average for vehicles of this age. The recorded mileage jumps are consistent, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity between tests, which might suggest the vehicle was stored rather than driven lightly. Notably, the 2023 MOT record includes a duplicate entry for the same test date and mileage, one marked as a pass and the other as a fail, though both list no defects. This anomaly could imply a data error rather than a mechanical issue, but it warrants scrutiny to confirm no unresolved problems were overlooked. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—for signs of wear or corrosion, as these are not routinely tested. The brakes, while not failed in any MOT, should be checked for uneven pad thickness, glazed discs, or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced prolonged periods of low use. Tyres, though not explicitly mentioned in the record, should be examined for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, as this is a common concern for vehicles of this age and mileage. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are free from deterioration.
