2019 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Premium DCI 1.5L Heavy oil · EU19 KWS

A history of significant component failure in 2023, including suspension and engine management issues, defines this vehicle's record, although it has since returned to a passing status as of 6 August 2026. The 2023 failure was comprehensive, involving a fractured nearside front coil spring, a cut tyre, and an inoperative engine management light. While the record shows a more stable trend recently, a failure was also recorded in July 2026, though no specific defects were detailed for that event. The recorded mileage of 100,510 miles over seven years represents a high annual average of approximately 14,359 miles. This level of usage typically results in accelerated wear on high-friction consumables and structural rubber components, such as suspension bushes and drivetrain mounts. Such a high-mileage profile means the vehicle has undergone significantly more mechanical stress than a low-mileage example of the same age. Inspection should prioritize the front suspension and braking system due to the specific defects flagged in previous tests. A test drive should be used to listen for knocks or clunks over bumps, which could indicate further degradation of the suspension components following the previous coil spring failure. Additionally, the buyer should feel for any vibration or judder through the brake pedal, which would suggest that the previously pitted and worn rear brake discs have not been adequately replaced or are wearing prematurely. Attention must also be paid to the engine management system, given the previous failure regarding the MIL. Ensure that no warning lights are present on the dashboard upon ignition and during the drive. The effectiveness of the windscreen wipers should be verified to ensure the previous failure for ineffective clearing has been permanently resolved and that the wiper blades are not currently perished.
