2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · LP69 KMO

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-09 recorded two tyre-related advisories: the nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit with edge wear, and both rear tyres showed slight cracking or perishing. These issues were not classified as defects but highlight ongoing tyre degradation. The 2025-01-13 MOT also noted rear tyre cracking, while the 2024-01-11 test had no recorded defects. The 2023-01-13 MOT mentioned child seat fittings obstructing belt inspections, which is unrelated to mechanical faults. The primary recurring issue is tyre wear and deterioration, particularly affecting rear tyres. The 2025 and 2026 MOTs consistently flag similar rear tyre damage, suggesting a pattern of uneven wear or environmental factors (e.g., road conditions, storage). The nearside front tyre’s edge wear in 2026 may indicate alignment or suspension stress, though no such defects were recorded. No major safety risks were noted in the MOT history, but the trend shows gradual tyre degradation rather than improvement. The vehicle’s mileage of 50,294 miles over seven years equates to roughly 7,185 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, though lower mileage could imply periods of inactivity, and higher mileage might accelerate component fatigue.
