2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LR67 AAF

The 2025‑10‑29 MOT at 121,514 miles resulted in a pass, yet the near‑side rear shock absorbers again displayed light oil misting (5.3.2 (b)), indicating a persistent suspension fault that has not been corrected. The mileage record climbs from 52,274 miles in September 2020 to 121,514 miles in October 2025, averaging roughly 13,500 miles per year; the jump from 90,530 miles in April 2023 to 109,364 miles in April 2024 shows an 18,834‑mile surge within a single year, and the 2024‑04‑04 failed test at 109,364 miles revealed an inoperative engine MIL and a registration plate lamp defect. Recurring issues centre on the near‑side rear suspension, which has shown oil misting in both 2024 and 2025, and on the rear brake assembly, where the 2024‑11‑04 test flagged binding rear brakes despite the latest pass; the 2020 tyre perishing and the 2024 registration plate lamp and wiper blade defects also suggest intermittent electrical and consumable wear that merit verification. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the rear shock absorbers and associated bushes, examine the rear brake calipers and discs for binding or corrosion, check the chassis for structural rust, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, and confirm that the registration lamp and wiper blade faults have been remedied before purchase.
