2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · LS21 ENO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward requiring immediate consumable attention. While the 2024 and 2025 tests returned no defects, the most recent inspection on 28 March 2026 at 27,757 miles flagged both front and rear brake pads as thin. This indicates that the vehicle has reached a point where the braking system requires servicing to prevent further degradation. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,551 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 17,517 miles and the March 2025 test at 22,571 miles, the car covered 5,054 miles, followed by another 5,186 miles in the subsequent year. This low usage typically reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to brake disc corrosion or flat spots if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system in person to ensure the discs have not been scored or thinned due to the worn pads. Since both axles were flagged simultaneously, a full set of pads and a caliper inspection are necessary to ensure optimal stopping performance. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for signs of rubber perish in the suspension bushings, which can occur on older vehicles that are not driven frequently.
