2019 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · YR69 CLU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a pass in October 2025 at 70,597 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test failed due to a fractured offside rear coil spring, and while this was rectified and an under tray was subsequently fitted, the history suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than during scheduled inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 46,897 miles and the October 2024 test at 57,425 miles, the car covered 10,528 miles. The subsequent interval saw another 13,172 miles covered by the 2025 test. This steady usage indicates typical annual driving conditions which accelerate standard wear on mechanical components and braking systems. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the suspension and braking system due to recurring issues. The records from 2022 and 2023 highlight persistent corrosion pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs, which often indicates long periods of inactivity or poor-quality brake fluid maintenance. The 2024 advisory regarding front tyres worn specifically on the outer edges suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that needs to be verified to prevent premature tyre degradation. The failure of the coil spring in 2025 necessitates a thorough check of the remaining suspension components for signs of stress or fatigue. Given the presence of an under tray fitted during the last test, the buyer should also inspect the chassis for any hidden structural corrosion or fluid leaks that may have been obscured. While the vehicle has passed its latest test, the recurring history of worn brakes and broken springs points to a vehicle that is nearing a period of significant mechanical maintenance.
