2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · DP69 OKU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a lapse in proactive consumable replacement. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 61,032 miles passed, the tester flagged thin rear brake pads. This same defect was noted during the previous test in September 2024, indicating that the owner has been waiting for components to reach a point of failure or near-failure rather than replacing them during a standard service interval. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 18,700 miles between November 2022 and December 2023, followed by a more rapid accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles between late 2023 and late 2024. This suggests the vehicle was either used more intensively or stood for a period, which can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or seized calipers despite the relatively low overall mileage. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the thin pads have not scored the discs, as the delayed maintenance. Given the recurring mention of thin pads across two consecutive years, the buyer should also check for uneven wear or binding calipers that might be causing premature thinning. The 2024 failure regarding ineffective windscreen wipers was a minor consumable issue, but the wiper blade arms should be checked for tension or lift, which is common on vehicles of this age. No structural corrosion or suspension failures were noted in the history, which is a positive indicator for the chassis integrity.
