2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · LM19 UDD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 52,576 miles. However, the maintenance trend reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the latest test showed no defects, the immediate failure in April 2026 at 42,569 miles due to exposed cords and cracking on both rear tyres indicates that the previous owner only addressed critical issues once they triggered a test failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At seven years old, the recorded 52,576 miles represent an average of approximately 7,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical national averages. The mileage pattern appears steady, with a jump of roughly 9,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 10,000 miles between April 2025 and 2026. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which likely explains the perishing of rubber-based components despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking and suspension systems during a physical inspection. The 2025 test at 37,017 miles flagged thin brake pads on both axles and uneven wear on the offside front tyre, which could indicate alignment issues or sticking brake calipers. Given the recurring history of tyre-related failures and perishing, the current set of tyres must be checked for sidewall cracking and tread depth beyond legal limits. The previous failure of wipers in 2024 is a minor concern, but it reinforces the pattern that basic consumable items are overlooked until they fail inspection.
