2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · DP69 WWH

The most recent MOT test completed in December 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. When evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle shows a positive trajectory of improvement. While the 2022 and 2023 inspections flagged several advisories related to consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads, the subsequent two years have been entirely clear. This indicates that the previously noted wear-and-tear issues were likely rectified and that the vehicle is currently being maintained in a condition that meets all statutory safety requirements. With a recorded mileage of 50,293 over approximately seven years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 7,185 miles per annum. This represents a moderate to low usage profile for a Nissan Qashqai of this age. From a mechanical standpoint, this lower mileage generally implies less cumulative stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and engine components compared to higher-mileage examples. However, because the mileage is not excessively high, it is important to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from excessive stationary periods, which can lead to secondary issues such as battery degradation or fluid contamination. Although the recent history is clean, the previous advisories regarding thinning brake pads and uneven tyre wear on the shoulders should inform your inspection. During the test drive, listen for any metallic squealing or grinding during braking, which could indicate worn pads or sticking calipers. You should also check for any vibration or shudder through the brake pedal, which may suggest unevenly worn or warped discs. Inspect the tyres thoroughly, looking specifically for any deep cuts in the sidewalls or uneven tread wear patterns that could indicate alignment issues or suspension geometry problems. Given the vehicle's age and mileage profile, you should also conduct a thorough physical check for time-related degradation. Examine the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur even if the tread depth remains legal. Check the brake discs for heavy corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding. It is also essential to verify the service book to confirm that time-based maintenance, such as annual oil changes and brake fluid replacements, has been carried out in accordance with manufacturer intervals. Finally, test the 12V battery and ensure the windscreen wipers operate smoothly without smearing to ensure all age-related consumables are in good order.
