2021 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric · SH71 OBG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive repairs. While the car passed its most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 31,280 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior for significant braking defects. The transition from a clean record in late 2024 to multiple brake-related failures suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they triggered a failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The usage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,250 miles per year. The recorded mileage of 31,280 miles indicates relatively light use, likely involving short trips. There is a clear gap of roughly 6,000 miles between the December 2024 test at 25,245 miles and the December 2025 test. While low mileage usually implies less wear on drivetrain components, the recent brake failures indicate that specific friction materials have degraded prematurely or been neglected during this interval. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The December 2025 failure specifically flagged thin nearside front pads, critically thin offside rear pads at under 1.5mm, and a significantly worn offside rear disc. Because these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the buyer should verify that all affected components were replaced in pairs and that the calipers are not glazed. They should also check for signs of uneven wear or sticking calipers, as the pitting and scoring noted on the front discs often indicate prolonged moisture exposure or inactivity due to the low annual mileage.
