2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · BD17 UCS

The vehicle presents a stable but reactive maintenance profile. The most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 87,730 miles resulted in a pass, yet the tester flagged two advisories: rear brake pads at 70% wear and slight play in the offside track rod end ball joint. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, these advisories indicate that wear-and-tear components are approaching the end of their service life. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 87,730 miles, averaging roughly 9,750 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 62,301 miles in June 2023 to 74,562 miles in June 2024, and finally 87,730 miles in June 2025. This incremental increase suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The MOT history reveals a pattern of neglected consumable maintenance. In June 2023, the vehicle failed due to a structural lump in the offside front tyre and thin brake pads on both axles. A similar issue occurred in June 2024 when a tyre tread depth failure caused an initial fail before a pass was achieved the following day. These recurring failures suggest the previous owner tended to address maintenance only when prompted by an MOT inspection rather than following a proactive service schedule. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and front-end suspension. Given the 70% wear noted in the 2025 test, the rear pads and discs will likely require replacement shortly. The reported play in the track rod end necessitates a check of the steering geometry and all associated suspension bushes to ensure no further deterioration has occurred. Checking the condition of all four tyres is also essential to ensure no further structural issues, such as sidewall bulges or uneven wear, are present.
