2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · FD70 AXZ

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend based on the most recent inspection. While the March 2026 test at 55,268 miles resulted in a pass, the number of advisories has increased significantly compared to previous years. The tester flagged multiple issues including perishing rear tyres, a defective nearside side repeater, and worn suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front. This indicates that while the vehicle remains legal, the frequency of consumable and component wear is accelerating. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 55,268 miles, averaging roughly 9,211 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 28,349 miles in November 2023 to 32,691 miles in April 2024, and then a jump to 43,351 miles by April 2025. The most recent interval between April 2025 and March 2026 shows an increase of nearly 12,000 miles, suggesting a recent increase in driving frequency. A buyer should focus heavily on the suspension and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The suspension arm bushes have been flagged as worn or splitting in both the April 2025 and March 2026 tests, suggesting that previous repairs were either not carried out or the components have failed again. The presence of perishing tyres in the latest record, following a failure for low tread depth and nails in the tyre in April 2025, suggests a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding tyres. The electrical integrity of the side repeaters and the condition of the windscreen wipers should also be verified. Although the brake pads were noted as thin in November 2023, the lack of recent brake advisories implies they may have been replaced, but a manual check of the discs and pads remains necessary to ensure no binding or uneven wear has developed alongside the suspension issues.
