2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · KU69 VYP

The overall roadworthiness status of this vehicle is satisfactory, though the maintenance trend shows a clear worsening regarding consumable wear items. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 26,022 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. This follows a prior pass on 13 November 2024 at 20,591 miles, which noted perishing on the nearside front tyre and a slightly distorted nearside front inner road wheel. Earlier tests in November 2022 at 11,263 miles and November 2023 at 16,024 miles recorded completely clean sheets, indicating this degradation is a recent development rather than a long-standing neglect. Mileage accumulation is remarkably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging just 3,717 miles annually. The increments between tests are consistent and gradual, covering roughly 4,000 to 5,500 miles each year. This pattern points to light urban use or frequent short trips rather than long motorway journeys. While the low mileage explains the absence of severe mechanical wear, it strongly suggests the car has endured prolonged periods standing idle or completing only short, cold-run journeys. Such usage profiles routinely accelerate tyre degradation and promote brake disc corrosion. A prospective buyer must physically inspect the tyres and road wheels as a priority. The recurring advisories for perishing rubber across multiple axles within 12 months indicate the tyres are aging prematurely, likely from UV exposure, lack of use, or cold-running flex fatigue rather than tread depletion. The distorted nearside front inner road wheel flagged in late 2024 requires close visual and dynamic evaluation, as rim deformation often stems from pothole impacts that can simultaneously stress suspension bushes, steering arms, and coil springs. The brakes require a thorough assessment for binding calipers and heavy surface corrosion on the discs, which is highly typical of low-mileage, idle vehicles. Verify the structural integrity of the subframes and underbody for early surface rust that frequently takes hold when cars sit unused for extended stretches.
