2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · MA21 XPD

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 29 August 2025 at 38,939 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing without failure, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without requiring corrective work at the point of testing. The mileage data contains a significant discrepancy that requires scrutiny. The record shows 23,712 miles on 5 September 2024, but a previous entry on 8 January 2024 lists a much higher figure of 50,641 miles. The mileage then drops back to 38,939 miles by August 2025. This suggests either a clerical recording error by the tester in January 2024 or a potential issue with the odometer. Aside from this anomaly, the general usage of roughly 7,788 miles per year is typical for a five year old vehicle. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged defects, there are no recurring mechanical trends such as suspension wear or brake deterioration to highlight. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or tyre tread suggests a level of basic upkeep. However, the contradictory mileage readings are the primary concern here. A buyer should verify the current odometer reading against the service book and check for any signs of instrument cluster tampering. Physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that MOT tests sometimes overlook if they are not yet at a failure threshold. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs for lip wear, as the clean record does not guarantee these consumables are new. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for surface rust, which is common in UK climates but not always noted unless it compromises structural integrity.
