2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DP17 CVV

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, having passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 99,340 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history indicates reactive rather than preventative care patterns. While the most recent inspection was hindered by a child seat preventing a full check of the adult seatbelt, the lack of new major defects in that pass suggests the vehicle is currently operating in a functional state following the resolution of previous issues. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles annually. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,500 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 inspections. This regular interval suggests the car does not sit idle for long periods, which typically benefits the condition of rubber components and prevents fluid-related dry-related issues. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry. The September 2024 test at 92,388 miles flagged severely deteriorated suspension arm ball joint dust covers on both the nearside and offside front. While these were likely addressed before the subsequent pass, such dual failure necessitates a physical check for play in the joints or torn grease boots to ensure the repair was carried out. Additionally, the thin rear brake pads noted in 2021 at 68,132 miles indicate a history of running components until they reach wear limits, making a current inspection of brake pad thickness and disc corrosion essential.
