2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · HV67 YLC

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend that suggests reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test conducted in November 2025 at 61,172 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for an offside rear outer tyre worn to the legal limit on the edge. This follows a pattern where mechanical issues are addressed only when they approach or reach failure thresholds, indicating that the owner maintains the minimum requirements for legal road operation. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 25,107 miles and the November 2023 test at 40,698 miles, the car covered 15,591 miles in a single year, representing a significantly higher usage than the long-term average. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and seals, despite the wear on consumable parts. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system and suspension geometry. The November 2023 failure flagged thin brake pads on both the nearside and offside front, and the subsequent 2025 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the rear axle suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The physical inspection should check for uneven tyre degradation across all wheels and verify that the brake discs are not scored or excessively thin. The record also shows issues with wiper blades and tyre damage, such as the 2023 wiper failure and the 2022 tyre sidewall cuts. While these are minor items, they highlight a history of neglecting peripheral components. Since no structural corrosion or major mechanical failures appear in the provided history, the focus should remain on the current state of the tyres and the mechanical integrity of the chassis to ensure no hidden damage exists from the reported uneven wear.
