2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · LW19 ADO

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-08-29 MOT at 35,164 miles. The prior 2024-08-13 test at 30,262 miles showed a pass, though a duplicate entry for the same date and mileage records a failure with no defects. This inconsistency may indicate a procedural error, but the absence of recorded issues in subsequent tests suggests no ongoing mechanical concerns. The pattern of passing MOTs since 2022 reinforces a consistent maintenance approach, with no critical failures or advisories noted. The vehicle’s mileage of 35,164 miles over seven years equates to approximately 5,023 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which might affect components like the battery, tyres, and fluid systems. Notably, the 2022-09-05 MOT at 20,021 miles shows a 8,145-mile gap since the previous test, raising questions about maintenance continuity. However, the absence of defects in later tests suggests any potential issues were addressed before subsequent inspections. Buyers should verify the condition of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which may degrade during prolonged inactivity. The lack of brake-related defects in MOT records is positive, but a physical inspection should confirm no hidden corrosion on brake discs or binding calipers. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be checked, as low mileage does not preclude rust or fatigue in critical areas. The vehicle’s maintenance history reflects cautious upkeep, but its age and usage pattern warrant thorough pre-purchase scrutiny.
