2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DP17 CFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a sharp decline in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its test in April 2026 at 67,753 miles, this followed a significant failure just three days prior involving multiple mechanical and consumable defects. This trend suggests that the current owner is only addressing faults when necessary to pass the annual test rather than performing routine preventative checks on components before they reach failure. The recorded mileage of 67,753 miles over nine years averages to approximately 7,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family SUV. The data shows a consistent pattern of use between 2023 and 2026, with the vehicle covering roughly 25,000 miles in those three years. However, the jump of 11,600 miles between April 2025 and April 2026 coincides with the rapid deterioration of the braking system and suspension components noted in the latest dejection report. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The April 2026 failure flagged nearside front anti-roll bar linkage, a wishbone arm ball joint dust cover, and worn wishbone bushes, indicating that rubber components and joints are reaching the end of their service life. The record also noted offside rear brake pads at under 1.5mm and a fluctuating offside rear service brake, which often indicates warped discs or a sticking caliper. Furthermore, all four tyres were noted as at the 3mm legal limit with edge wear, suggesting a potential alignment issue that requires investigation to prevent premature wear on new rubber.
