2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · OY20 YAO

The vehicle presents a flawless MOT record, with the most recent test in February 2026 at 44,979 miles resulting in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This unbroken sequence of four consecutive first-time passes since 2023 establishes a stable and commendable maintenance trend. The absence of even minor advisories across all tests suggests diligent care from the current keeper, though it also provides no warning signs for a prospective buyer to track. Mileage accumulation follows a steady and predictable pattern, with the car covering approximately 6,200 to 7,000 miles between each annual test. The progression from 25,401 miles in February 2023 to 44,979 miles in February 2026 aligns with the typical usage of a family hatchback. There are no sudden spikes or extended dormant periods in the record, indicating consistent use rather than long spells standing idle, which can degrade seals and tyres. A completely clean MOT history leaves no mechanical or structural leads to pursue, but it also demands a more sceptical pre-purchase inspection. The tester never flagged corrosion on brake pipes, suspension components, or the underbody, yet a six-year-old UK vehicle will have faced winter road salt. A physical check should concentrate on surface rust on subframes and suspension arms, the condition of the exhaust system, and the true depth of the brake pads and discs. Tyre condition and age codes also warrant scrutiny, as the record offers no insight into whether the rubber has been replaced since the car left the factory.
