2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · MU53 KJS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a generally positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 March 2026 at 56,617 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids triggering immediate mechanical failure or structural degradation during annual testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between the September 2023 test at 27,423 miles and the April 2024 test at 31,437 miles, the car covered roughly 4,000 miles, showing a period of lower usage. However, the subsequent increase to 25,180 miles covered between April 2024 and March 2026 indicates a return to more typical usage levels, which accelerates the wear on consumable components such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushings. The single failure recorded on 20 March 2025 at 43,238 miles, just two miles before a successful pass, suggests a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the retest. Since no specific advisories for corrosion, leaking calipers, or suspension play appear in the history, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the lower suspension and underbody components. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, checking the condition of the control arm bushes and looking for pitting on brake discs is prudent to ensure that the clean MOT history has not masked underlying mechanical erosion.
