2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · YL70 BYN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in preventative care toward the most recent inspection. In the January 2026 test at 28,916 miles, the car passed despite several specific defects that were not present in the previous year. The presence of a worn offside front tyre measured at 2.5mm and thinning rear brake discs indicates that consumable components are reaching the end of their life and require attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,783 miles per annum. The progression from 20,302 miles in January 2024 to 24,680 miles in January 2025, and finally 28,916 miles in January 2026, shows consistent low-usage patterns. This reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but can sometimes lead to seized components like suspension bushes or brake calipers if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front suspension geometry, as the uneven wear pattern on the tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn ball joint. The tester flagged the rear brake discs in 2026, so a physical check of the pad thickness and rotor condition is necessary to ensure adequate stopping performance. Additionally, the recurring obstruction caused by child seats in 2025 and 2026 prevented full inspections of the adult seatbelts, so the buyer must manually verify that the webbing and tensioning mechanisms are free of fraying or damage.
