2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LY19 PHA

The 2019 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 February 2026 at 51,222 miles with zero defects recorded. This is the most recent test, sitting just over four months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the vehicle holds a fresh MOT certificate valid until early 2027. The trajectory from the February 2024 test, which flagged three minor advisories, to two consecutive clean passes in 2025 and 2026 suggests the previous owner addressed those items promptly and has maintained the car to a consistent standard since. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. From 18,311 miles at the March 2022 test to 51,222 miles by February 2026, the car has covered roughly 33,000 miles across four years, averaging around 8,200 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps between test dates that would indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, nor any sudden spikes in accumulation that might point to heavy commercial use. The annual intervals between MOT tests are regular, and the odometer readings progress logically from one test to the next. The February 2024 advisories at 31,379 miles are worth noting, though they appear to have been resolved. Front brake pads were wearing thin at that point, and both rear tyres showed signs of cracking or perishing. A prospective buyer should still inspect the current condition of the rear tyres carefully, checking the sidewall integrity and manufacture date codes, as perishing can recur if inferior replacements were fitted. The brake pads flagged in 2024 should have been replaced by now, but a test drive revealing any pulling, squealing, or uneven braking effort would confirm the work was carried out properly. Beyond the historical advisories, the Qashqai's age and mileage warrant a close physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for wear or corrosion, particularly around the subframe and mounting points. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion given the vehicle is now seven years old. Underbody condition, including any surface rust on structural components, deserves attention even though no corrosion-related defects have appeared on record. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains the most reliable way to verify the vehicle's current mechanical integrity.
