2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DS67 FXR

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a maintenance trend that has stabilised following reactive repairs. The most recent test in October 2025 at 46,056 miles resulted in a pass with minor advisories regarding a deteriorated rear plate and a perished nearside rear tyre. This represents a significant improvement over the 2023 inspection where the vehicle failed due to thin rear brake pads, suggesting that previous mechanical neglect has since been addressed. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,117 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, moving from 30,953 miles in October 2022 to 46,056 miles by late October 2025. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and fluids, as evidenced by the tyre sidew cracking noted in the 2025 MOT advisory. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the history shows a pattern of recurring wear. The 2022 test at 30,953 miles flagged thin front pads and worn discs, while the 2023 failure involved the rear pads. While these have likely been replaced, the buyer must verify the remaining life of the current components and check for uneven wear or caliper sticking. Additionally, the low mileage and the advisory for a perished tyre necessitate a thorough check of all tyres for dry rot or flat spotting, which are common on vehicles that sit for extended periods.
