2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · EY21 HXV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 March 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable despite following a minor failure just five miles prior to that pass. At 71,105 miles, the tester identified a torn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover and an ineffective windscreen wiper. These issues were addressed immediately to secure the clean certificate, suggesting the owner is responsive to safety-critical repair requirements. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,222 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 27,135 miles and the March 2025 test at 49,202 miles, the car covered 22,067 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation continued into the final interval, reaching 71,110 miles recently. Such consistent high mileage puts significantly accelerated stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage urban examples. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the replaced ball joint dust cover was fitted correctly and that no further play has developed in the steering geometry. Given the high mileage, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of uneven wear or thinning resulting from frequent motorway use. While the record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the failure of the wiper blade highlights that basic rubber-based components are reaching the end of their service life and require proactive monitoring.
