2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · LS70 KZO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred component replacement. The most recent test on June 2, 2026, at 46,034 miles identified several developing issues, including thin front brake pads on both sides and worn suspension arm bushes at the front. Although the car passed, the accumulation of these mechanical-related advisories suggests that the previous owner is waiting for components to reach the point of failure before intervention rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 46,034 miles over six years, the Qashqai reflects a consistent average usage of approximately 7,700 miles per annum. The data shows a significant spike in activity between June 2023 (14,440 miles) and May 2025 (33,961 miles), where nearly 20,000 miles were covered in just two years. This period of higher intensity correlates with the rapid decline in tyre condition noted in the 2024 and 2025 records, where the vehicle failed due to structural damage to the cords and tyres reaching the legal depth limit. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension assembly. The tester flagged worn suspension arm bushes in the June 2026 test, which will eventually lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The front brake system requires immediate attention as the pads are nearing the end of their service life. Furthermore, the reported cracking and perishing on the rear tyres indicate the rubber compound is aging despite the low mileage, likely suggesting the vehicle sits for long periods between uses, necessitating a new set of tyres to ensure structural integrity.
