2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · HU69 ADA

Based on the official DVSA MOT records, this 2020 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and largely positive maintenance trend. The most recent test, conducted on 9 January 2026 at 47,638 miles, passed with zero defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that time. The overall trajectory is one of consistent upkeep, with only minor, isolated advisories appearing in the historical record. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the January 2023 test at 23,401 miles and the January 2024 test at 31,741 miles, the vehicle covered 8,340 miles. This increased slightly to 10,504 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, before settling at 5,393 miles in the most recent twelve-month period leading to January 2026. This pattern suggests a recent reduction in annual usage, which can reduce wear on consumables but may also point to longer periods of inactivity that can affect components like brakes and tyres. The sole recurring theme in the advisory history relates to tyre condition. In the January 2025 test at 42,245 miles, both the nearside and offside rear tyres were flagged for slight damage, cracking, or perishing. This was not a repeat of a previous fault but a new advisory at that time, and it was clearly rectified before the clean pass in January 2026. Tyre age, sidewall integrity, and inflation pressures warrant a close visual inspection during any test drive, particularly on the rear axle where the advisory occurred. Beyond the tyre advisory, the absence of any mechanical or structural defects across four consecutive MOT tests is a strong indicator of sound routine maintenance. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection, paying close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs and pads, as these components are subject to wear that may not always trigger an MOT failure but can indicate how the vehicle has been driven and maintained. The underbody and wheel arches should also be checked for any signs of corrosion or structural compromise, particularly given the vehicle's age and typical usage patterns.
