2017 NISSAN QASHQAI1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its most recent test in June 2026 at 35,254 miles, this followed an immediate failure due to significant brake and tyre defects. The tester previously flagged front brake pads below the 1.5mm legal limit and pitted front discs, indicating that the previous owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach the point of failure rather than during scheduled service intervals. At 35,254 miles, this nine-old Qashqai has averaged approximately 3,900 miles per year. This low-mileage profile typically suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain components, yet the data shows the vehicle may have sat for extended periods. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the car covered only 3,529 miles, which is consistent with low usage. However, low mileage often correlates with the perishing of rubber seen in the recent records, where tyres degrade chemically despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the recurring issues with thin pads and scored discs suggest potential neglect of hydraulic components. The offside rear tyre was flagged for cracking and perishing in 2026, which is a common symptom of age-related degradation on stationary vehicles. You should also verify the nearside bodywork and lamp lens mentioned in the 2024 failure to ensure the repairs were completed to standard. Given the history of sidewall damage on multiple tyres, checking for alignment issues or suspension wear is advisable to ensure the low mileage is not masking uneven tyre wear.
