2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · DV21 WUT

A spotless MOT history across three consecutive annual tests – the latest on 28 October 2025 – indicates that no roadworthiness‑related defects have been recorded for this 2021 Nissan Qashqai. The absence of advisories or failures suggests that, at the times of testing, the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards without issue, and there is no evidence of recurring mechanical problems in the official record. With 26 415 miles logged over roughly five years, the average annual accumulation sits near 5 300 miles, considerably below the typical UK usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. Such low mileage generally translates to reduced wear on high‑stress components such as brake pads, clutch, and tyre tread, but it can also mean that rubber seals, suspension bushes and flexible hoses have aged more by time than by use. The MOT schedule shows no gaps longer than six months, so there is no indication of prolonged inactivity that would raise concerns about battery health or fuel system degradation beyond normal ageing. When you inspect the car, pay particular attention to the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes and the coil springs; listen for clunking or knocking over bumps, which could reveal hidden wear not captured by the MOT. Examine the brake system for any pedal pulsation, excessive travel or uneven pad wear, and verify that the discs are free of scoring. Check the steering column and tie‑rod ends for any play or binding, and confirm that all exterior lights, indicators and the exhaust system are intact and free of leaks. Tyre tread depth should be measured and any signs of sidewall cracking noted, as low mileage does not guarantee tyre longevity. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advisable to assess age‑related items that MOT testing does not cover, such as the condition of the timing chain or belt (if applicable), coolant hoses, and the battery’s charge‑holding capacity. Confirm that the vehicle’s service documentation aligns with the mileage and that any scheduled maintenance milestones have been observed, ensuring that the car remains mechanically sound beyond the clean MOT record.
