2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FP69 VHM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in its maintenance history. The most recent test in September 2025 at 88,932 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from a failure in 2023 to two clean passes thereafter suggests the current owner is proactive regarding MOT-related requirements. The mileage pattern reveals a significant increase in usage over the vehicle's life. Between September 2022 at 10,266 miles and September 2023 at 33,816 miles, the car covered a moderate distance. However, the usage accelerated sharply in the following years, with 25,178 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This average of over 12,000 miles per year is above the national average for this age, placing consistent stress on wear components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system given the high-mileage history. The 2023 test flagged both front brake discs and a misting nearside rear shock absorber. While these were cleared in subsequent tests, the high mileage increases the likelihood of worn suspension bushes or premature failure of the remaining shock absorbers. Inspecting for oil leaks on dampers and checking the thickness of the brake pads is essential, as these components often require replacement around the 90,000-mile mark.
