2021 Nissan Qashqai Visia DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric · KU52 DON

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, having passed on 27 August 2025 at 41,007 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean outcome followed a failure the previous day at 41,003 miles, where the tester flagged an offside headlamp aim set too low and a nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint with excessive wear. Both defects were evidently rectified within 24 hours, suggesting the faults were addressed promptly rather than left to deteriorate. The overall maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring or unresolved issues appearing across the recent record. The mileage pattern is straightforward and consistent with typical use. In the twelve months between 27 August 2024 at 25,887 miles and 27 August 2025 at 41,007 miles, the vehicle covered 15,120 miles, which is above the average annual figure of roughly 8,200 miles implied by the five-year total. That gap indicates a period of heavier use in the most recent year compared with the earlier years of the vehicle’s life. No unusual mileage gaps or sudden drops are present in the data, so the record does not raise any immediate concerns about the speedometer or potential long-term standing. The only mechanical defect noted in the history is the worn nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. While this was fixed in time for the retest, a worn ball joint often points to general suspension stress and can be an early indicator of deteriorating bushes, drop links, or track rod ends on the same axle. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension carefully, checking for play, uneven tyre wear, and any knocking over bumps. The headlamp aim fault is minor in isolation, but it is worth confirming that both headlamp units sit correctly and that the adjusters have not been damaged or tampered with. Beyond the recorded defects, the mileage and age combination means consumable components such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and exhaust system mounts are approaching a point where wear should be assessed directly. The vehicle has covered over 15,000 miles in the last year alone, so any long-term wear items may have aged faster than the calendar alone would suggest. A thorough in-person check of brake condition, tyre tread depth, and any signs of corrosion on the subframe or suspension mounting points will help confirm whether the car has been maintained to a standard consistent with its recent clean MOT result.
