2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · PK67 AAX

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 July 2026 at 80,698 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend in maintenance standards following a period of failures in 2023 and 2024. While the car previously struggled with consumable items, the clean sheets from the last two annual tests indicate that the current owner is proactively addressing mechanical wear issues before they are flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a family crossover of this age. The data shows steady accumulation between annual tests, such as 13,100 miles driven between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 11,628 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of being stationary, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and brake seizing. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the suspension system, as the record shows a fractured offside rear coil spring in 2023. Although this was rectified, suspension components should be checked for signs of leaking shock absorbers or uneven wear on the bushes. The 2024 failure regarding low tyre tread, pitted brake discs, and thin pads indicates a significant brake overhaul was performed; the buyer must verify the current thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs to ensure this is maintained. The history also highlights recurring issues with tyre condition and alignment across 2020, 2023, and 2024. The offside rear tyre was flagged for cracking and perishing across three separate tests, suggesting a history of neglected rubber age or potential alignment issues. While the 2026 test showed no tyre defects, an inspector should check for uneven tread patterns across all tyres to ensure the geometry is not out of specification, which is a common trait on the Nissan Qashq platform.
