2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LR67 ABZ

The April 2026 MOT at 82,029 miles recorded a failure for off‑side front tyre tread and excessive wear of the front lower suspension arm pins and bushes, confirming that the vehicle is not presently roadworthy. Earlier passes in 2025 and 2024 show improvement, but the recent failure indicates a worsening condition that cannot be ignored. From the September 2020 test at 25,251 miles to the April 2026 test the mileage has risen to 82,029 miles, averaging roughly 13,671 miles per year, well above the typical 9,000‑mile annual rate for a 2017 model. The data show irregular intervals, with particularly rapid accumulation between 2024 and 2026, suggesting periods of heavy use or extended standing periods that have accelerated wear. A buyer should therefore focus on the front suspension geometry, checking for play in the lower arm pins and condition of the bushes, and verify that tyre tread meets the 1.6 mm legal minimum on all four wheels. The brake discs, flagged as worn, pitted or scored in the April 2025 test, merit close inspection for scoring depth and any signs of uneven wear, while the severely deteriorated near‑side front anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint requires functional testing for looseness. Given the recurring tyre wear, suspension component fatigue and rapid mileage increase, the vehicle exhibits a pattern of accelerated mechanical usage that may extend to the drivetrain and chassis, so a comprehensive physical examination and possibly an independent mechanic’s assessment are strongly advised before purchase.
