2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · FT70 PWL

The 2021 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile with no recorded defects across its three MOT tests. The most recent examination on 11 August 2025 at 20,338 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle has shown no worsening or recurring mechanical faults since first tested. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows 13,058 miles at the 8 January 2024 test, rising to 16,660 miles by 27 August 2024, then 20,338 miles by 11 August 2025. That equates to roughly 4,068 miles per year. The sparse, clean history with no flagged wear items suggests light use and a previous owner who kept the car garaged or on short runs, though long standing periods can hide perished rubber components not visible in a pass result. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the low mileage and likely intermittent use. Standing time accelerates tyre sidewall cracking and brake disc corrosion even when the tester records no defect. The absence of advisories means no immediate concern, but verify underseal condition and check for structural rust at sills and subframes. Given the clean MOT trail, the Qashqai reads as a low-risk purchase on paper. Confirm service history matches the low mileage and inspect fluids, aux belt, and battery health, as light use often masks deferred maintenance on consumables not covered by the MOT.
