2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · ST70 XEO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 19,958 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest result indicates a shift toward minor age-related defects. While the car passed without major failures, the presence of perishing and cracking on both front tyres suggests that the rubber components are reaching the end of their structural life despite the low total mileage. The mileage profile is significantly low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between January 2024 and May 2024, where the car covered only 456 miles in four months. This low-frequency usage pattern often results in less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it can explain the surface corrosion seen on the braking components. The record shows consistent annual testing since the vehicle's first test at 10,835 miles. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the May 2024 test at 11,291 miles flagged the offside front brake disc as pitted and scored. Although this did not cause a failure, it indicates a vulnerability to moisture corrosion common with long periods of sitting stationary. The April 2026 advisory regarding tyre perishing also requires immediate attention, as the compound is degrading from age regardless of remaining tread depth. A physical check of the suspension bushes and rubber seals is also advised to ensure that low-mileage use has not led to undetected cracking over time.
