2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · KU69 VVM

The 2019 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 9 October 2025 at 60,906 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance history demonstrates consistent care, with the vehicle passing its last three consecutive MOTs without any advisories or failures. An anomalous failure occurred on 2 October 2023 at 44,264 miles, yet the record shows no defects listed for this test. The vehicle passed a retest just two days later on 4 October 2023 at 44,397 miles, indicating the initial failure was likely procedural rather than a serious mechanical fault. The mileage accumulation reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns over the vehicle's seven-year life. Between the 2022 test at 29,450 miles and the 2023 test at 44,397 miles, the Qashqai covered roughly 15,000 miles, reflecting higher-than-average annual use. This dropped to approximately 10,600 miles in the following year, and then sharply declined to just 5,857 miles between the September 2024 and October 2025 tests. This recent low annual mileage of under 6,000 miles suggests the vehicle has transitioned to lighter duties or shorter commutes. Despite the absence of recurring structural or mechanical faults in the record, the recent drop in mileage warrants a specific in-person inspection focus. Short-trip driving and prolonged standing can mask underlying issues that MOTs might not catch, such as brake disc surface corrosion, exhaust system moisture buildup, and battery fatigue. Inspect the brake calipers for signs of binding and check the exhaust for corroded welds, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from condensation-related rust rather than wear-and-tear. The tyre sidewalls and dates also deserve scrutiny, as infrequent use leads to perishing and flat-spotting before the tread wears down.
