2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · EY70 JXH

The 2020 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and largely positive maintenance trend, culminating in a pass at its most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 at 51,094 miles. That test recorded only minor advisories for perishing and cracking on both rear tyres, indicating no serious mechanical or structural deterioration. The preceding tests in October 2024 and October 2023 were completely clean, with zero defects flagged at 40,027 and 26,275 miles respectively. This pattern suggests consistent, responsible ownership with no emerging mechanical concerns. The mileage progression tells a clear story of steady, typical use. The vehicle covered roughly 13,752 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, then approximately 11,067 miles in the following twelve months up to October 2025. That slight deceleration in annual mileage is unremarkable and may simply reflect changing usage patterns. At around 8,500 miles per year over its six-year life, the Qashqai sits squarely within normal parameters for its age. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record that would raise concerns about long periods of neglect or tampering. The only recurring theme in the MOT record is tyre condition. Both rear tyres were flagged for cracking and perishing at the most recent test, a defect absent from the two prior inspections. This suggests the rear tyres may be original or at least aged, and a buyer should carefully inspect all four tyres for sidewall damage, tread depth, and date codes. Given the vehicle's age, it would be prudent to check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components commonly deteriorate around the 50,000-mile mark even when no faults have yet triggered an MOT advisory. The braking system, including discs, pads, and calipers, should also be examined for uneven wear or binding, particularly at the rear axle where tyre degradation may point to prolonged standing or infrequent use. A physical inspection should focus on the underbody and wheel arches for any signs of corrosion or structural rust, common on vehicles of this age regardless of mileage. The exhaust system and its mountings deserve attention, as does the condition of all fluid hoses and belts under the bonnet. While the MOT record paints a picture of a well-maintained vehicle with no serious defects, the tyre advisories at the most recent test are a clear signal that consumable items are now due for attention. A buyer should budget for replacement tyres and a thorough mechanical inspection to confirm that the underlying components remain in sound order.
