2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · WL70 CKP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test on January 13, 2026 at 73,675 miles passed just one day after a failure for a non-functional indicator and a worn nearside front tyre. While the car meets minimum standards today, the history of failures suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by the MOT tester rather than identifying them during scheduled service intervals. At 73,675 miles over five years, this Qashqai averages 14,700 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a petrol vehicle. The data shows a significant surge in usage between January 2025 and January 2026, where the vehicle covered 26,275 miles in a single year—more than double the previous year's accumulation. Such high-intensity driving places accelerated stress on suspension components and drivetrain hardware, which is reflected in the rapid degradation of the braking system noted across the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the record shows a persistent pattern of neglect. In January 2024, the offside rear brake pads and discs were significantly worn, and by by January 2025, the front discs and pads were flagged as thin and pitted. The recurring nature of these faults suggests the previous owner may be stretching components until they reach failure. Furthermore, the uneven wear on the nearside front tyre noted in the 2026 test indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which requires a professional check to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
