2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SM19 OTC

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on May 28, 2026 at 58,340 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend following a period of neglect observed in 2024. The clean results from the 2025 and 2026 tests suggest that the current owner addressed the mechanical and wear issues identified in the previous year. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year over the seven-year period. There is a significant gap in data between May 2023 (22,084 miles) and June 2024 (43,744 miles), where the car covered over 21,000 miles in just thirteen months. Since then, usage has stabilised back to roughly 8,000 miles annually. This low overall mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher averages. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. In June 2024, the tester flagged a severely deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover alongside thin brake pads on both front and rear axles. While the subsequent clean passes suggest these were rectified, a physical check should verify that ball joints are free of play and that the brake discs show signs of uneven wear. The 2024 record also noted tyre damage and perishing, so the age of the current tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking regardless of tread depth.
