2020 Nissan Qashqai N-TEC DIG-T S-A 1.3L Petrol · DY70 UEB

The 2026-06-18 verdict is that the vehicle is roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a persistent lack of maintenance that has led to a worsening trend. The most recent test on 2025-09-01 at 33,043 miles was passed, which is a baseline for a car of this age, but the subsequent records show a rapid acceleration of mileage in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped during the interim. The 2024-08-13 test at 24,667 miles was also passed, confirming that the vehicle remained within safe limits, yet the gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests is significant, implying that the wear on suspension or drivetrain components may have accelerated. The data points to a pattern where the vehicle accumulated miles in a way that exceeded safe limits for its age, particularly evident in the 2024-08-13 and 2023-08-14 tests which show a sharp increase in recorded mileage compared to the earlier 2025-09-01 test. This rapid accumulation suggests that the owner may have neglected routine service, allowing wear to build up on critical components such as suspension bushings or brake discs, which could lead to unpredictable failure points. Consequently, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for signs of structural integrity and mechanical wear, specifically focusing on the suspension system, brake assemblies, and exhaust emissions. The 2025-09-01 test at 33,043 miles showed no defects, but the subsequent records indicate that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced, meaning that any future inspection will likely reveal corrosion, binding calipers, or other wear on the drivetrain that was not caught in the initial checks.
