2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DP17 RTU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 September 2025 at 88,057 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive repair rather than preventative maintenance. While the car failed a test just three days prior at 80 miles lower due to a structural cut in the offside rear tyre, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass with no recorded defects suggest the owner is willing to address faults once flagged by the tester. The' pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,784 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 73,680 miles in August 2023 to 80,783 miles in September 2024, and then another 7,274 miles leading into the 2025 test. This regular usage indicates the vehicle has not sat for extended periods, which typically helps prevent internal engine corrosion and dry rot in rubber components. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The September 2024 failure identified an offside front track rod end with excessive play, and advisories noted pitted and scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside rear. While these may have been replaced, the recurring nature of uneven tyre wear on the offside front suggests potential alignment issues or worn bushes. Additionally, the history of tyres reaching legal limits or sustaining damage indicates that the current set should be checked thoroughly for depth and consistent wear patterns.
