2020 Nissan Qashqai N-TEC DIG-T S-A 1.3L Petrol · FX20 XDB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a recent dip in proactive upkeep standards. The most recent test in March 2026 at 39,037 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding an insecure offside front fog lamp. This represents an improvement over the failure in March 2025, where the owner had to address critical safety issues regarding tyre depth and brake component condition before securing a pass. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its six-year life. Between February 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 5,850 miles, while a further 4,339 miles were recorded in the year leading from the March 2025 failure to the March 2026 pass. This low annual mileage suggests the mechanical components have not been subjected to heavy stress, though it often masks age related corrosion rather than high-mile wear. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front braking system. The March 2025 failure flagged the offside front inner brake disc as pitted and scored, which suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods or operated in corrosive environments without regular cleaning. Verify that the current discs and pads show no signs of of resurfacing or uneven wear. Additionally, the previous failure for both front tyres being below the 1.6mm limit indicates that the previous owner neglected basic consumable maintenance until forced by the MOT, so the remaining tread depth and age of all tyres should be scrutinised.
