2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · VT19 VSV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 71,371 miles passed despite multiple significant advisories regarding three tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a pattern seen in previous years where components were only addressed after failing or reaching a critical state, rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. The mileage progression is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 58,618 miles and February 2025 at 65,276 miles, the car covered 6,658 miles, indicating a slightly lower than average usage during that specific period. While the mileage remains typical for the age, the frequency of MOT failures suggests that the low distance driven has not translated into a high standard of upkeep for consumable components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and wheels assembly due to recurring issues. The distorted nearside front road wheel noted in 2024 and the repeated uneven wear on tyres across 2024 and 2026 suggest potential alignment problems or worn suspension bushes that have gone unaddressed. The brake system also shows signs of neglect, with pads flagged as thin in early 2025, necessitating a thorough check of the discs for scoring or heat glazing to ensure they are not nearing premature failure. The persistent TPMS light recorded in 2024 requires a diagnostic check to rule out a faulty sensor or a slow leak. Additionally, the previous failure of a failing windscreen wiper and incorrect headlamp aim in 2024 indicates that basic safety-related trim items are frequently overlooked. Due to the trend of tyres reaching the legal limit repeatedly, a full tread depth and sidew integrity check on all four is essential to avoid immediate expenditure upon purchase.
