2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LR67 AAN

The most recent MOT on 2026‑04‑23 recorded a clean pass at 57,288 miles with no defects, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy and the previous maintenance problems have been addressed. The trend shows improvement: the April 2025 test revealed multiple failures—including excessively worn front suspension arm bushes, thin inner brake pads, rear pads below 1.5 mm, lipped brake discs, corroded rear coil springs and a worn rear shock‑absorber bush—yet the subsequent retest cleared those items, suggesting corrective work was performed. The current status is therefore stable, with no active advisories. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 6,300 – 6,700 miles per year since 2020, rising from 22,218 miles in August 2020 to 57,288 miles today. Annual MOTs have been conducted on or near 16‑23 April each year, providing a consistent inspection schedule. The latest test falls within three months of the present date, confirming the vehicle remains within the required annual testing window and that the service history is not sparse. A prospective buyer should closely examine the suspension system, particularly the front suspension arm bushes and rear shock‑absorber upper bushes, for signs of excessive wear or corrosion. Brake components merit scrutiny: check front inner pads for thinness, rear pads for thickness below the 1.5 mm threshold, and both discs for lip formation. The rear coil springs should be inspected for corrosion, and the oil level verified to ensure the service light does not indicate a neglected top‑up. Finally, confirm that any rear child‑seat fitting does not obstruct full inspection of the adult seat belt, and assess tyre condition, noting the previous rear‑tyre wear advisories from the 2023‑2024 tests.
