NISSAN QASHQAI2018 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear progression of wear-related defects. The most recent test in June 2025 at 86,483 miles identified multiple issues including pitted front brake discs, worn front tyres, and deteriorating front suspension arm bushes. While the vehicle passed, the increasing frequency of advisories suggests that several components are now reaching the end of their functional life and require immediate mechanical attention. The' profile is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with a 13,234-mile gap between 2023 and 2024, and another 13,000 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. This regular usage indicates the car has been driven consistently rather than sitting stationary, which explains the gradual degradation observed in consumables such as tyres and the braking system. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the wishbone arm bushes have been flagged for wear in three consecutive years between 2023, 2024, and 2025. The recurring nature of these faults, combined with noted edge tyre wear, suggests a potential alignment issue or worn component failure. Additionally, the front brake discs are now visibly scored and pitted, likely requiring replacement to ensure safe stopping performance. The previous distortion of the nearside rear rim noted in 2023 should also be checked for lingering vibrations or structural integrity under load.
