2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · LS70 CAE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful pass on 12 February 2026 at 31,308 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent inspection resulted in only a single advisory regarding the offside front tyre. This marks an improvement over the 2023 test, which saw multiple failures including a missing wheel fixing and tyre damage. The transition from a failure-heavy record in 2023 to a clean pass in 2025 and a minor advisory in 2026 suggests that the current owner has addressed previous neglect, moving the vehicle into a more reliable state of repair. With a total of 31,308 miles over six years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,218 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the recorded history, showing steady, light usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests shows a modest increase of roughly 6,500 miles, confirming the car is used regularly for short trips. This pattern typically places less stress on the drivetrain and transmission, though it can sometimes lead to premature battery degradation or seized brake components if the vehicle sits for extended intervals between these modest journeys. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the steering and suspension components, specifically checking the offside front track rod end that showed play in 2023. While this was rectified, the nature of the component suggests it should be checked for any recurring movement or knocking noises during a test drive. The advisory regarding the offside front tyre indicates that the front axle may require a tracking alignment check to prevent uneven wear. Finally, verify the condition of the rear tyres and the integrity of all wheel fixings, as the previous record of a missing bolt highlights a potential history of careless wheel maintenance that requires visual confirmation.
