2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · DP69 FEF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 27 August 2025 at 50,314 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable history, though a failure just one day prior indicates a lapse in proactive maintenance regarding consumable components. The failure at 50,313 miles identified all front brake pads as below the 1.5mm legal limit, which the owner rectified immediately to pass the subsequent re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,386 miles per annum. The record shows steady accumulation of miles, with 14,542 miles covered between November 2022 and August 2024, and another 14,443 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of standing, which generally preserves the integrity of rubber components and fluid systems. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the recent pad replacement did not result in seized calipers or uneven disc wear. Since all front pads reached the point of failure simultaneously, it suggests a uniform wear pattern rather than a specific mechanical fault on one side. You should also check suspension bushes for signs of cracking or tearing, as the MOT history has not yet flagged any structural corrosion or mechanical advisories despite the mileage.
