2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · YB20 TKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 46,223 miles, it initially failed due to an offside front brake pad being worn below the 1.5mm threshold. This indicates that critical braking components were only addressed once they reached a point of failure, suggesting the owner may have neglected routine service intervals between the annual MOT tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 35,338 miles and the July 2024 test at 40,228 miles, the car covered roughly 5,000 miles. The subsequent interval saw another 6,000 miles leading to the 2025 test. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension but explains the specific tyre-related issues noted in the record. A buyer must personally inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the history shows recurring issues with perishing, cracking, and nails across the 2024 and 2025 tests. The presence of cracking on relatively young tyres suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which can lead to rubber degradation. Given the previous failure on the offside front brake pad, a thorough check of the remaining pad life and the condition of the discs is necessary to ensure no uneven wear or glazing has occurred from the prolonged use of worn material.
