2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · DP19 UFJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred consumable repairs. While it passed the most recent test in May 2026 at 75,729 miles, the tester identified a severe deterioration of the nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover alongside perished tyres on both fronts. This follows a pattern seen in previous years where mechanical and rubber components were only addressed after they reached a point of failure or significant advisory, rather than being maintained through preventative care. The recorded mileage of 75,729 miles over seven years represents an average annual run of approximately 10,800 miles, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a family crossover. However, there is a notable increase in activity between April 2024 and April 2025, where the vehicle covered 14,052 miles in a single year. This accelerated wear likely correlates with the degradation of components noted during that period, specifically the transition from minor brake disc wear to a failure involving exposed cords on the rear tyre at the 69,167-mile test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows recurring issues with pitted brake discs and thin pads dating back to 2024, suggesting the owner allows components to run until near the absolute end of their service life. The nearside front road wheel was flagged as distorted in two consecutive years, which should be checked for impact damage or lateral pull at high speeds. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of tyre perishing and cracking across multiple axles suggest the vehicle may sit for long periods or be stored in harsh conditions, necessitating a close check of the rubber integrity on all bushings and suspension seals.
