2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · KL06 AAA

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 24 September 2025 with no recorded defects or advisories. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable and consistent. While there was a failure in October 2024 due to a missing road wheel fixing and an advisory regarding the condition of the front brake discs, the subsequent clean pass indicates that these issues were rectified. The overall record suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without chronic or recurring mechanical failures. With a recorded mileage of 79,364 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,818 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for this class of vehicle and suggests a balanced duty cycle. This level of mileage avoids the risks associated with excessive wear found in high-mileage examples, while also avoiding the deterioration often seen in vehicles that have spent long periods standing, such as seized calipers or perished rubber components. Despite the clean most recent test, the prospective buyer should specifically investigate the front braking system. The 2024 advisory for worn, pitted, or scored brake discs suggests a period of neglect or exposure to corrosive elements. During a test drive, the driver should be alert for any brake shudder or pulsation through the pedal, which would indicate warped discs. It is advisable to verify whether the discs and pads were fully replaced or merely cleaned, as pitted discs can lead to uneven pad wear and reduced stopping efficiency over time. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a comprehensive physical inspection of the chassis and suspension is recommended. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of perishing or corrosion. The buyer should also examine the tyre sidewalls for hairline cracking, as tyres can degrade by age even if the tread depth remains legal. Finally, the service history should be scrutinized to ensure that calendar-based maintenance, such as brake fluid flushes and engine oil changes, has been performed regardless of the annual mileage.
