2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · LP19 AYH

A pattern of intermittent component wear and minor functional defects defines the recent MOT history for this Nissan Qashqai, following a period of clean records between 2022 and 2025. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 24 April 2026, this followed an initial failure regarding insufficient windscreen washer fluid delivery. The record shows a transition from a period of no recorded defects to more frequent advisories concerning wheel and tyre condition in 2024, suggesting a shift in the mechanical focus toward consumables and peripheral equipment. The vehicle has covered 74,158 miles over its seven-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,594 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical UK driving patterns and does not indicate excessive mileage or long periods of stationary use. Mechanically, this level of regular use suggests that components such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and drivetrain elements will be subject to standard wear and tear commensurate with the mileage, rather than the accelerated degradation seen in high-mileage vehicles or the potential seal drying associated with very low-mileage usage. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the wheel and tyre advisories recorded in April 2024, which noted a slightly distorted nearside front inner road wheel and unevenly worn tyres on both the nearside rear and offside rear. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor for any steering pull, vibrations through the steering wheel at motorway speeds, or rhythmic thumping sounds that could indicate the previously noted wheel distortion or uneven tyre tread. The uneven wear on the rear tyres may also point to underlying suspension geometry issues or worn shock absorbers, so any lateral instability or excessive body roll during cornering should be noted. Further inspection should confirm that the windscreen washer system is fully operational and provides adequate pressure, addressing the failure noted in the April 2026 test. While the recent passing of the MOT suggests these issues have been addressed, verifying the spray pattern and pump function is necessary. Additionally, given the history of tyre wear and wheel distortion, a thorough visual inspection of the suspension linkages and bushes is advised to ensure no further alignment issues are contributing to premature tyre degradation.
