2007 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · LC07 PKY

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the 9 January 2024 MOT, having passed at 90,645 miles after a failure the previous day. The recent pass indicates a stabilising trend; the earlier failure was largely remedied, yet recurring wear on the front brake discs and persistent front inner track‑rod end ball‑joint play suggest ongoing maintenance will be required. At 90,645 miles the Qashqai averages roughly 4,800 miles per year over its 19‑year lifespan, well below the typical usage for a model of this age. Mileage rose from 82,425 miles in December 2021 to 90,645 miles by January 2024, an increase of 8,220 miles in just over two years, consistent with the low‑annual average and showing no sudden spikes or long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front braking system, as the MOT record repeatedly flags worn, pitted discs and pads below the 1.5 mm minimum. Inspect the front inner track‑rod end ball‑joint for excess play, which may indicate deteriorating suspension bushes or bushings. Confirm that the oil leak noted on several occasions is minor and not symptomatic of a larger engine seal failure. Functional testing of the horn, rear stop lamps, and all exterior lighting is essential, given repeated failures. Finally, a visual inspection for corrosion on the chassis and suspension components will ensure no hidden structural issues compromise long‑term durability.
