2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LP67 CCV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available data, though the maintenance history suggests reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 20 December 2021 at 122,316 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for nearside front brake pads wearing thin. This indicates that while the owner addressed critical components before they reached a failure point, they allowed consumables to run near the limit of their service life. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,600 miles per annum. Between the 2020 test at 103,260 miles and the 2021 test at 122,316 miles, the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. There is also a notable gap in the record since late 2021, meaning the vehicle has likely operated for over four years without an official safety check to verify its current mechanical state. A physical inspection must prioritise on the braking system and suspension components given the high mileage and previous issues with thin pads. The buyer should check for uneven pad wear or scored discs, which often follow high-mileage brake service. The presence of undertrays noted in December 2020 suggests an attempt to mitigate road spray, but a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity and surface rust is necessary to ensure that the high usage has not compromised the metalwork of the vehicle.
