2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LR67 AAZ

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai is currently roadworthy, having passed the DVSA test on 21 July 2026 at 67,568 miles. The preceding test on 7 July 2026 at 67,484 miles recorded multiple suspension and lighting defects, but the subsequent pass shows that those issues were remedied, indicating an improving maintenance trend despite recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake pads and tyres. Over nine years the recorded mileage has risen from 23,708 miles in August 2020 to 67,568 miles in July 2026, averaging about 7,500 miles per year, which is typical for the model’s age. However, the annual increments accelerated markedly in the last two years, with a jump of roughly 12,800 miles between July 2025 and July 2026, suggesting increased usage or possible odometer discrepancy. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension arm pin and bush, the track‑rod end and anti‑roll bar linkage ball joints for play or corrosion, and verify that the recent repair addressed the excessive wear noted in the July 2026 test. The thin rear brake pads and worn tyre perishing observed repeatedly demand close examination of pad thickness, disc condition and tyre tread depth, while the damaged outer door mirror from the July 2026 failure warrants a check for structural integrity and rust around the mounting points. If the suspension components show no excessive movement, the brakes are within service limits and the tyres are sound, the vehicle can be considered mechanically sound; however, the history of recurring suspension and brake wear indicates that proactive replacement of these items may be required soon to maintain long‑term reliability.
