2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · RO70 WAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address tyre condition. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 29,256 miles passed, the tester flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit with unevenly worn edges. This indicates a recurring issue where the owner ignores tyre degradation until it reaches the point of MOT failure, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumable maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,876 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between tests, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025, and similar 5,000 miles in the year leading up to that period. This low annual mileage likely explains the recurring reports of rubber perishing and cracking noted in the 2023 and 2024 records, as tyres can age out over time when driven infrequently, despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and alignment personally, as the uneven edge wear noted in the 2025 test often points to incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushes. The repeated reports of perishing rubber across three years suggest the current tyres may be nearing the end of their structural life regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the buyer should ensure the nearside fog lamp was correctly secured following the 2023 failure and verify that no items are obstructing the driver's view as previously noted.
