2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · WF20 KVY

A pattern of relatively clean testing interrupted by specific consumable wear is the defining characteristic of this vehicle's recent MOT history. While the most recent test on 02 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, the preceding inspection in May 2025 flagged issues with tyre tread depth and edge wear on both the nearside and offside front tyres, alongside a defective nearside side repeater lens. This suggests a trend where the vehicle meets basic structural and emissions standards but requires attention to peripheral components and tyre maintenance to maintain continuous roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 25,375 miles against a six-year age profile indicates an average annual accumulation of approximately 4,229 miles. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, suggesting the vehicle has been subject to light usage or has spent extended periods stationary. Mechanically, such low mileage often means less wear on heavy-duty components like the engine internals, gearbox, and suspension bushings, but it can also mean that components like tyres and brakes are being used less frequently, potentially leading to uneven wear patterns or flat spots if the vehicle is not driven regularly. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front tyre condition, as the 2025 advisories regarding inner edge wear can be indicative of specific alignment issues. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any steering pull to one side or a wandering sensation at motorway speeds, which would suggest that the tracking or camber angles require adjustment. Additionally, the presence of inner edge wear on both front tyres may point to worn suspension components, such as control arm bushes or tie rod ends; listen for any knocking or clunking noises when navigating uneven road surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds. The minor defect regarding the nearside side repeater lens should be physically inspected to ensure the unit is secure and the light output is clear and unobstructed. While the 2026 pass indicates these previous issues were resolved, a thorough visual check of all exterior lighting and the condition of the front tyre treads remains necessary to ensure the vehicle is currently meeting all legal requirements. Focus the inspection on the front axle assembly to confirm that the tyre wear noted in the previous year has been corrected through proper alignment and replacement.
