2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · SL21 WWB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in attention to consumables. While it passed the latest test in August 2025 at 44,502 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories that were absent in previous inspections. This shift indicates a transition from a clean record in early-2024 to a state where essential wear items are reaching the end of their functional life without intervention between service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 15,297 miles between April 2024 and August 2025, which explains the rapid wear noted on the brakes and tyres in the most recent report. The vehicle covered roughly 3,000 miles in the four months leading up to the 2024 test, suggesting a period of higher use following the headlamp failure. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the August 2025 test flagged a slightly distorted offside front road wheel. This often suggests a previous impact or curb strike that could affect tracking and cause uneven tyre wear. Given that both front tyres were noted as worn on the edge near the limit, a professional alignment check is necessary to ensure no underlying damage exists to the components. The braking system requires immediate attention as both front and rear pads were flagged as wearing thin during the last inspection. You should check the brake discs for scoring or heat spotting, which often occurs when pads are left to run low too long. While the history shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the current list of advisories suggests the previous owner only addressed maintenance when forced by an MOT failure.
