2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · WL67 AAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards deferred wear and tear management. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 89,926 miles passed, it introduced advisories for worn suspension arm bushes on both front offside sides. This represents a departure from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, indicating that the vehicle is now entering a stage where mechanical components require proactive replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical light-use vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of over 15,000 miles between December 2023 and November 2024, followed by another 25,000 miles leading into the November 2025 test. This steady usage suggests the car has not sat idle for long periods, but the rapid accumulation of miles in the last two years correlates with the appearance of wear on consumables and suspension components in the most recent testing intervals. A buyer must inspect the front-end geometry specifically, as the tester flagged worn front suspension arm bushes in the latest inspection. The previous history also shows a pattern of poor tyre maintenance, with nearside front tyres failing for perishing and wear in 2024 and the offside front tyre reaching the legal limit in 2025. You should check for uneven tyre wear across all axles which would indicate alignment issues. Additionally, since the offside rear brake pads were noted as thin in late 2024, verify the remaining pad life to ensure they were actually replaced following that failure.
