2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · DT66 VYN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 55,539 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability followed by a mechanical lapse in mid-2024. While the 2025 test was successful, the previous 2024 failure indicates that braking components were neglected until they reached a critical state rather than undergoing preventative replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year over nine years. There is a notable gap of over 11,000 miles between February 2023 and August 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 6,700 miles in the final year. This low annual mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but long periods of standing or lower usage can sometimes lead to corrosion on brake discs and dry seals, as seen in the history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection specifically on the braking system. The August 2024 failure at 48,751 miles identified front brake pads below the 1.5mm legal limit and worn inner discs, alongside pitted rear inner discs. Although these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the buyer must verify that the current components have sufficient life and that the calipers are not sticking. Additionally, the recurring note regarding the nearside rear child seat obstructing access to the adult belt suggests the buyer should manually inspect that belt assembly to ensure it is functional and undamaged.
