2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · LB69 NMF

The 2020 Nissan Qashqai failed its most recent MOT on 30 December 2025 at 49,370 miles, confirming a worsening maintenance trend despite earlier passes. The vehicle has recorded 49,370 miles in total, with the latest failure showing the same rear brake pad wear, cracked offside rear tyre, and worn near‑side front suspension components that appeared in previous tests. The mileage has risen from 23,119 miles in January 2023 to 49,370 miles by December 2025, an average increase of roughly 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a six‑year‑old vehicle. There are no large gaps in the record; each annual test reflects steady accumulation of kilometres without abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity. Recurrent issues include thin rear brake pads, a cracked offside rear tyre, a near‑side front tyre with tread depth below the 1.6 mm requirement, a worn near‑side front suspension arm pin or bush, and a nail in the near‑side rear tyre. These defects have re‑appeared in every test since January 2024, indicating persistent mechanical concerns rather than isolated wear. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and arm for excessive play, examine the thickness of rear brake pads and the condition of the brake discs, verify that the rear brake calipers operate freely without binding, check tyre tread depth and sidewall condition on all four wheels, and look for any structural rust or damage to the chassis, especially around the wheel arches.
