2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DT69 KFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 recording a pass at 51 160 miles with no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability after a single failure at 25 430 miles in January 2024, which was primarily tyre‑wear related. The subsequent tests have been clean, indicating that the identified issues were addressed and have not re‑appeared in the latest inspection. Mileage accumulation over the past two years has been above the typical 8 500 miles per year for this model. Between the January 2025 test (39 464 miles) and the January 2026 test (51 160 miles) the vehicle gained roughly 11 700 miles, an average of about 1 000 miles per month. This higher usage pattern suggests more frequent exposure to wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components than a standard five‑year‑old example would normally experience. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the front tyres for uneven wear and ensure tread depth meets the legal limit, as the same advisory appeared in both the 2024 pass and the earlier failure. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive wear or play, and check brake discs and calipers for signs of glazing or corrosion, given the high mileage gain. Verify that any wheel covers are fitted correctly and do not obstruct the driver’s view, and test the wiper blades for effective clearing, as the 2024 failure highlighted a deficiency in that area. Finally, look for rust or corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as the vehicle’s age and mileage make structural integrity a key consideration.
