2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · VA70 AWZ

The vehicle presents a stable and well-maintained mechanical profile as of its most recent assessment. The MOT record dated 24 February 2026 shows a clean pass at 35,719 miles, following a failure on the same day for front brake discs worn and pitted, front brake pads below 1.5 mm, and both rear tyres showing damage, cracking, or perishing. The fact that these items were rectified and the car passed on the same day indicates the previous owner addressed the defects promptly. The maintenance trend is therefore stable and improving, with no recurring structural or safety-critical failures across the documented history. At roughly five years old with 35,719 recorded miles, the vehicle has covered approximately 7,144 miles per year, which sits squarely within the typical range for its age. The mileage progression is consistent and well-documented: 22,931 miles in January 2024, 31,157 miles in March 2025, and 35,719 miles in February 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden surges in accumulation that would suggest the car was either stood unused or subjected to abnormally high wear. The annual increments of approximately 8,200 miles and 4,500 miles respectively reflect normal, steady use rather than neglect or excessive strain on drivetrain and suspension components. The most significant finding in the record is the February 2026 failure for front brake discs worn and pitted alongside pads worn below the 1.5 mm legal minimum. While this was rectified, it signals that the braking system has experienced notable wear at relatively low mileage for a modern crossover. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs for any remaining scoring or lipping and verify the condition of the rear brakes, which have not been flagged but may carry uneven wear given the rear tyre advisories. The repeated appearance of both rear tyres flagged for cracking or perishing at the most recent test also warrants close inspection of the sidewalls and tread depth, as perishing rubber at this mileage could indicate age-related degradation or prolonged standing rather than excessive use. Beyond the braking system, the January 2024 failure for defective wiper blades and an offside headlamp aim too high were minor items that were resolved, and no further advisories of that nature have reappeared. There are no recorded defects relating to suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, steering components, or structural corrosion, which is encouraging for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A prospective buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of the underside for any signs of rust or damage not captured in the MOT, check the condition of all four tyres including the spare, and test the headlamp aim on both sides to confirm the 2024 repair has held.
