2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · EY69 HWP

The 2026‑07‑17 MOT at 48,414 miles confirms the Nissan Qashqai remains roadworthy, with the tester issuing only an advisory on front tyre wear and no structural or mechanical failures recorded. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase from 16,660 miles in August 2022 to 48,414 miles in July 2026, averaging about 6,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a seven‑year‑old vehicle. The only notable gap is the jump from 16,660 miles in 2022 to 25,838 miles in July 2023, a rise of 9,178 miles in one year, but subsequent annual increments remain within 7,000‑8,000 miles, indicating no abrupt mileage spikes. Recurring defects flagged in earlier tests include a worn, pitted and heat‑damaged front brake disc recorded on 10 July 2024, and perishing outer sidewall damage on both rear tyres noted on the same date. No further brake or suspension advisories appear in the 2025 or 2026 tests, suggesting the issues were addressed or have not re‑emerged, but the tyre wear on the 2026 test indicates the front tyres have been driven beyond the recommended tread depth. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front brake discs and calipers for scoring or heat cracks, examine the rear tyre sidewalls for cracks or perishing, verify suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or looseness, and check the chassis for any rust that could compromise structural integrity. The absence of recent defects implies the vehicle has been maintained consistently, but close visual and functional checks are essential before purchase.
