2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · KX19 HFF

The 2019 Nissan Qashqai has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all tests since 2022, including the most recent pass on 21 May 2025—just over two months ago. This suggests consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards, though the single failure in March 2023 (55,863 miles) stands out as an anomaly. The absence of advisories or recurring issues implies the vehicle has likely undergone regular servicing, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or drivetrain joints. The most recent test confirms the vehicle remains legally roadworthy, but the brief gap between the 2023 failure and subsequent pass (13 days) warrants scrutiny of whether the issue was addressed promptly or if it was a minor oversight. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 9,683 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The largest jump occurred between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by 18,390 miles in just over a year—suggesting either intensive use or a period of consistent driving. The brief 4-mile gap between the 2023 failure and pass (9 March to 22 March) is unusual but not inherently concerning unless the failure was critical. The most recent test at 67,779 miles indicates the vehicle has been driven responsibly, though the lack of service records means wear on components like brake pads, tyres, and suspension may have progressed beyond manufacturer recommendations. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these are intact, as they often fail without triggering MOT defects until later stages. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Tyre tread depth, while not flagged in the MOT, may have worn unevenly given the rapid mileage accumulation post-2022. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be inspected, as this is a common issue for Qashqai models in the UK climate. The lack of MOT advisories does not rule out these areas requiring attention.
