2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FE69 MUB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a period of mechanical concern. The most recent test in February 2026 at 21,763 miles identified only minor consumable defects, specifically a split rear wiper blade and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. These issues represent routine maintenance requirements rather than mechanical failure, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to good condition since the faults noted in 2022. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per annum. Data shows consistent but infrequent usage, moving from 9,580 miles in August 2022 to 18,177 miles by January 2025. While this low mileage suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or surface corrosion on braking hardware, which aligns with the specific issues found early in the service history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and suspensionrelated components. The August 2022 test flagged a thin-out offside rear brake pad and a pitted, scored disc with a suspected sticking caliper. Although the vehicle passed two subsequent tests without further brake defects, it is vital to verify that the rear caliper is not currently binding and that the discs have been replaced to remove surface corrosion. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for cracking in sidewalls and suspension bushes, as these materials age over time regardless of the miles driven.
