2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LL19 CVN

The most recent MOT inspection conducted in March 2026 resulted in a pass, with the only advisory being a restricted inspection of the adult seatbelt due to a child seat. While the latest result is positive, the broader maintenance trend indicates a gradual increase in wear and tear items. The March 2025 test highlighted several emerging mechanical concerns regarding the braking system and suspension, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a lifecycle stage where routine component replacement is becoming necessary to maintain optimal roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 60,433 miles over seven years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,633 miles per annum. This represents a typical and stable usage pattern for this class of vehicle, avoiding the risks associated with excessive mileage or the deterioration caused by prolonged inactivity. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that while the primary drivetrain components should remain robust, the chassis and braking consumables are naturally reaching a point of expected depletion. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system, specifically the rear discs and pads which were noted as pitted, scored, and worn thin in 2025. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for pulsations through the brake pedal, which would indicate that these components have not yet been replaced. Additionally, the reported cracking in the front lower suspension arm bushes is a point of concern. This typically manifests as a subtle clunking sound when traversing uneven road surfaces or a slight instability in steering precision under braking. It is also advisable to inspect the current condition of the tyres and the overall wheel alignment, given the historical advisories regarding edge wear and punctures. Ensure that the tyre sidewalls are free from perishing and that the tread depth is consistent across the width of the tyre. Finally, verify the service history to confirm that the suspension and brake advisories from 2025 have been rectified, as failure to address worn bushes and scored discs can lead to premature tyre wear and reduced braking efficiency.
