2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · AY67 VPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 54,515 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding a worn offside front tyre, a perished offside rear tyre, and play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. This suggests a worsening trend in wear-and-tear components where parts are only addressed once they reach critical limits or near-failure states. The recorded mileage of 54,515 miles over nine years averages to approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-mid-range domestic usage. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 7,800 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. However, the low mileage has not prevented the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the recurring tyre issues noted across multiple years. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly. The record shows repeated failures for thin brake pads and worn discs between 2024 and 2025, indicating the owner likely ignored brake service intervals until testing failure. Furthermore, the multiple failures for high carbon monoxide and lambda readings in 2024 and 2025 suggest an intermittent engine combustion issue or a failing oxygen sensor that requires professional diagnostic verification to ensure the emissions system remains stable. The suspension also requires attention, specifically the front anti-roll bar linkage flagged in the April 2026 test. Given the recurring history of tyre perishing and cracking on the offside rear, the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, potentially leading to dry rot in bushings and seals. A physical check of all suspension bushes and rubber mounts is necessary to ensure no further structural play has developed beyond the minor play currently noted in the MOT record.
