2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · LK19 LPY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend in reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 36,452 miles passed, it revealed multiple new advisories that were not present in the previous year. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a series of failures and depletive faults in 2025 suggests that components are now only being addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 36,452 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,200 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age and inactivity rather than mechanical wear. The data shows a gap of 2,752 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, followed by another 1,988 miles before the latest test. The presence of cracked tyres with exposed cords indicates the vehicle may have sat for long periods, leading to dry rot despite the low overall mileage. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the track rod end and both lower arm ball joint dust covers have been flagged for damage or cracking across three consecutive testing periods. These perished boots allow moisture and grit to enter the joints, which leads to premature failure. The rear braking system also shows a persistent issue with pitted and scored discs that appeared in both 2025 and 2026, alongside brake pads now reported as thin in the latest inspection. This indicates the rear brakes require immediate attention to ensure effective performance.
