2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.7L Diesel · GU20 CKP

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-18 showed the vehicle passed with two minor tyre issues: a shallow cut on the nearside front tyre and slight cracking on the nearside rear tyre. These were classified as advisory items, not safety-critical, but they indicate some level of wear or damage that should be monitored. No other defects were recorded, suggesting the vehicle met basic safety standards at that time. The 2024-10-26 MOT revealed more significant issues, including damage to the offside wing mirror and rear door, as well as minor scoring on both front brake discs. While the brake disc wear was described as “slight” and not “seriously weakened,” this suggests progressive wear that could worsen over time. The 2023-07-26 MOT included a failed test due to a windscreen wiper malfunction and a nail in the offside rear tyre, which were likely addressed before the subsequent passed MOT on the same date. This inconsistency may reflect a mix of temporary fixes and ongoing maintenance needs. Overall, the defect pattern shows occasional bodywork damage, tyre wear, and minor brake disc scoring. There is no clear evidence of worsening trends—defects have remained low-risk and largely repairable. However, the 2024 MOT’s body damage and brake disc issues, combined with the 2023 failed test, suggest the vehicle has experienced some hard use or neglect in the past.
