2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · DM19 CWX

The 2019 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 23 January 2026 at 51,859 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a strong positive signal. The vehicle has moved from a period of minor advisories in 2024 to two consecutive flawless passes, suggesting recent ownership has addressed prior issues and maintained the car to a reasonable standard. The most recent certificate is valid until January 2027, giving a buyer several months of coverage. The mileage trajectory is consistent and unremarkable. Between the June 2022 test at 28,879 miles and the January 2026 test at 51,859 miles, the car covered roughly 23,000 miles in just over three and a half years, averaging around 6,500 to 7,400 miles annually. There is no evidence of the vehicle sitting unused for extended periods, nor does the record show any suspiciously rapid accumulation that might indicate undisclosed high-mileage fleet use. The annual increments are steady, which points to regular commuting or family use rather than neglect or extreme wear. The 2024 test at 40,485 miles flagged all four tyres for damage, cracking, or perishing, a cluster of advisories that often indicates prolonged under-inflation, kerb damage, or simple age-related deterioration on a car that was likely parked outdoors. The fact that no tyre defects appeared in 2025 or 2026 suggests the set was replaced, which is a consumable expense the previous owner absorbed. The 2022 test at 28,879 miles recorded corroded brake pipes and thin front brake pads alongside under-tray fitment that obscured inspection. Corroded brake lines are a structural concern, and their absence from subsequent records implies they were rectified, but a buyer should still verify the current condition of all brake lines, hoses, and the underside for any fresh corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and along the sills. A hands-on inspection should focus on the underside and suspension. Check for fresh surface rust on subframes and wishbone mounting points, confirm the brake discs and pads show even wear without lipping, and inspect the exhaust for corrosion or blowing joints. The under trays noted in 2022 may still be fitted, so request their removal to inspect the engine bay and transmission for oil leaks or weeping seals. Tyre date codes should be checked to confirm the post-2024 replacement is genuine and that the current set matches in brand and specification. Overall, the record shows a car that has moved from minor neglect to solid mechanical order, but the earlier corrosion and brake wear flags warrant a thorough physical check of the chassis and braking system before purchase.
