2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · DP69 FJX

The 2020 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend across its entire MOT history. The most recent test, conducted on 14 October 2025 at 49,329 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This marks four consecutive MOT passes with no advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a solid mechanical standard throughout its life. The trend is firmly stable, with no emerging faults or recurring issues to raise concern. The mileage accumulation is entirely typical for a six-year-old vehicle. Between the February 2023 test at 27,036 miles and the October 2025 test at 49,329 miles, the car covered approximately 22,293 miles in just under three years, averaging roughly 8,200 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record. The annual test intervals align neatly with consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing or excessive short trips. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The absence of flagged defects does not guarantee the absence of wear. At nearly 50,000 miles, consumable components such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension bushes will naturally have degraded depending on driving conditions and previous servicing. Check the condition of the front and rear suspension for any play or deterioration in drop links and anti-roll bar bushes, common wear points on this platform. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around joints and the back box, and verify that the engine mounts show no excessive movement or fluid seepage. Pay close attention to the body sills, wheel arches, and subframe for any signs of surface or structural corrosion, as these can develop even on well-maintained vehicles exposed to road salt. Test the operation of all electrical systems, including the infotainment unit and air conditioning, which are known to develop intermittent faults on this generation Qashqai. A short road test will reveal any binding calipers, gearbox hesitation, or steering misalignment that a static inspection might miss. The MOT record is reassuring, but it represents a snapshot in time, not a guarantee of current condition.
