2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DP19 EDU

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT based on the last recorded entry, and the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test conducted in July 2022 at 97,232 miles resulted in an initial failure followed by a pass after minor repairs. Because no tests have been recorded for nearly four years since, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified, and the mechanical state of the car has likely deteriorated significantly during this long interval. At 97,232 miles over seven years, this Qashqai averaged approximately 13,900 miles per annum, which exceeds the national average for a passenger car. This high mileage profile places considerable stress on wear-related components like the suspension and braking system. The lack of testing data since 2022 suggests the vehicle may have either sat stationary for long periods or the owner has neglected regulatory compliance, increasing the risk of undetected degradation of fluids and rubber components. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the suspension geometry, as the July 2022 failure flagged inner-edge tyre wear on both rear wheels. This pattern typically points to an alignment issue, worn suspension bushes, or failing shock absorbers. Given the high mileage and the elapsed time since the last inspection, a thorough check of the brake discs for corrosion and the structural integrity of the chassis for rust is also essential. The windscreen wipers were previously noted as failing to clear effectively, which should be checked for perished rubber or motor failure. Because the record provides no data for the last four years, the buyer should demand a fresh MOT to ensure no major mechanical failures or safety-related defects have developed in the drivetrain or exhaust system.
