2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · LS70 NHK

The latest MOT test conducted on 3 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to October 2023, the vehicle has maintained a consistently clean record with no failures or advisories noted across four consecutive tests. This indicates a very stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in good mechanical order, with potential wear and tear addressed proactively before it reached a level of official failure. The recorded mileage of 49,770 miles over approximately six years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 8,295 miles. This is considered typical for a vehicle of this age and class, suggesting a balanced usage profile that avoids the excessive wear associated with high-mileage commuting as well as the deterioration often found in vehicles that have spent long periods standing. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components should still be well within their expected operational lifespan. Given the absence of MOT advisories, a prospective buyer should focus on a detailed physical inspection of consumables. It is important to examine the tyres for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate the onset of worn suspension bushes or misalignment, and check the sidewalls for any signs of perishing. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or lip formation, and during the test drive, the buyer should listen for any suspension clunks and ensure there is no shuddering under braking or evidence of binding calipers. Furthermore, the buyer must verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance has been performed regardless of the mileage. Engine oil and filters degrade over time, and brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it requires periodic replacement to prevent internal corrosion of the braking system. The health of the 12V battery should be checked as these typically degrade around the six-year mark. Finally, a thorough check of the underbody for any signs of corrosion and a verification of the air conditioning system's performance are recommended to ensure the vehicle's overall integrity is consistent with its clean testing record.
