2021 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric · LX71 VGR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 26,763 miles resulted in a failure due to a cut in the nearside rear tyre and excessive wear on the nearside front tyre. While the vehicle passed immediately after these rectifications, the presence of these faults indicates that the owner neglected critical tyre condition until they reached a legal failure point. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,353 miles per year. There is a gap of 7,190 miles between the September 2024 test at 19,574 miles and the September 2025 test at 26,764 miles, suggesting consistent light annual usage. This low mileage generally results in less mechanical strain on the CVT drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to flat spotting or rubber degradation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the nearside front tyre was flagged as worn on the edge in 2025. This suggests potential alignment issues or a worn wisharm bushing that could prematurely scrub new tyres. You should also check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust when brakes are not frequently used. The lack of structural corrosion or mechanical failures in the record suggests the focus should remain on the quality of the tyres and the health of the rubber components.
