2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · VA68 JUX

This Qashqai’s MOT history demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with the most recent test on 29 January 2026 confirming no defects and a clean pass. The single failure on 22 January 2026—unusually recorded as a "failed" entry with no defects—appears anomalous and may reflect a DVSA administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. All other tests since January 2023 have passed without advisories, suggesting the vehicle has undergone consistent annual servicing. However, the lack of recorded advisories in any test does not preclude underlying wear; buyers should verify recent service records for suspension components, brake systems, and corrosion checks. The recorded mileage of 59,449 miles over seven years equates to approximately 8,493 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this age of vehicle. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the January 2026 failure—if genuine—could imply a brief period of neglect or a temporary administrative oversight. The absence of advisories on emissions or structural integrity in any test suggests no major drivetrain or bodywork issues have been overlooked, but the reliance on MOT data alone cannot confirm whether critical components like suspension bushes or brake calipers have been proactively serviced. Given the lack of advisories, the most prudent areas for an in-person inspection focus on high-wear items that often fail between MOTs. The suspension—particularly rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as these components frequently degrade without immediate MOT failure. Brake systems, including rear calipers and discs, warrant close scrutiny, especially if the vehicle exhibits uneven braking or a slight pull. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and subframes is another critical check, as the Qashqai’s bodywork is prone to rust in these areas despite passing MOTs. Finally, verify that all fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) are correct and that there are no leaks, as these are often overlooked but can lead to catastrophic failure.
