2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · VT19 VSL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 with 64,460 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of reactive neglect in late 2024. While the vehicle failed a previous test due to critical braking component wear, the subsequent pass without advisories indicates that the owner addressed these faults to bring the car back to legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per annum. Between the June 2023 test at 41,369 miles and the September 2024 test at 54,693 miles, the car covered over 13,000 miles, representing a slightly higher than average usage rate during that period. However, the 9,767 miles driven since the last test suggest regular annual use, which explains the observed wear patterns on mechanical components. A buyer should focus inspection on the front braking system, as the history reveals a recurring pattern of poor maintenance. The tester flagged thin brake pads at 41,369 miles in 2023, low hydraulic fluid levels at 52,572 miles in July 2024, and a total failure for worn pads and discs at 54,693 miles. This sequence suggests the previous owner waited until components reached critical failure rather than following scheduled service intervals. Verify that the current discs show no signs of glazing or thinning and that the pads have sufficient thickness. The 2023 advisory regarding perishing rear tyres also warrants a physical check for sidewall cracking or age rot, despite the relatively low mileage. Given the wiper blade failure in 2024, ensure the current blades are recent and provide clear visibility. Since no structural corrosion or suspension issues were noted in the record, the primary risks remain tied to the inconsistent replacement of wear and tear items.
