2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · VF68 FSD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent testing history indicates a decline in basic consumable maintenance. While it passed on January 30, 2026 at 39,053 miles, it failed just nine days prior due to a non-functional daytime running lamp and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This shift from a clean record in 2024 to multiple failures recently suggests the owner is now only addressing issues once an MOT failure occurs rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2025 (30,317 miles) and January 2026 (39,053 miles), where the car covered nearly 9,000 miles in twelve months. This low annual usage rate generally reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but the 2023 entry noting all four tyres were perishing or cracking is a common symptom of vehicles that sit for long periods, which leads to rubber degradation. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the current tyres, as the record shows a recurring pattern of front-end wear and uneven edges. This often indicates a wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that the tester did not yet flag. Given the low mileage and the history of perished rubber, check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used brakes are prone to surface rust that can affect caliper performance over time.
