2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · YC69 WDK

The most recent MOT inspection conducted in June 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Reviewing the longitudinal history, the vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance profile. While there was a significant failure in June 2025 regarding imbalanced front brakes on the first axle, the subsequent successful tests indicate that this issue was correctly rectified. The absence of recurring defects in the most recent two years suggests that the vehicle's primary safety systems are being maintained to an acceptable standard. With a recorded mileage of 66,826 miles over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,500 miles per annum. This level of usage is considered typical for a modern crossover and suggests a balanced lifecycle. The mileage is high enough to ensure that mechanical components, such as engine seals and suspension components, are regularly exercised, which helps prevent the premature perishing of rubber parts often seen in very low-mileage vehicles. However, the mileage is sufficient that wear on consumables like brake discs, pads, and tyres should be closely monitored. During your physical inspection and test drive, pay particular attention to the braking system given the previous failure for imbalance. Listen for any unusual grinding or squealing and feel for any pedal pulsation or shuddering when applying the brakes at various speeds, as this can indicate warped discs or uneven pad deposition. You should also check for any pulling to one side during deceleration, which might suggest a binding caliper or uneven friction material. Additionally, inspect the front brake discs for deep scoring or excessive lip formation at the edges, which would indicate nearing the end of their service life. Beyond the braking system, perform a thorough check of the tyre condition, looking specifically for sidewall cracking or perishing which can occur due to age regardless of tread depth. Given the vehicle's age, verify the service history to ensure that time-sensitive maintenance, such as brake fluid replacement and coolant flushes, has been carried out according to manufacturer intervals. It is also advisable to check the 12V battery health and inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or fluid leaks from suspension bushes or shock absorbers, ensuring the vehicle has been well-cared for during its typical usage cycle.
