2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · LR67 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent passing record, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of deferred consumable replacement. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 51,022 miles passed with advisories for a perishing offside rear tyre and thinning rear brake pads. While the vehicle remains legal, these advisories represent a continuation of issues first noted in previous years. The mileage history indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,669 miles per year. The vehicle recorded 28,076 miles in September 2020 and reached 51,022 miles by August 2025. This low-mileage profile often correlates with less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but the MOT data suggests the vehicle may have sat idle for extended periods. This is evidenced by the repeated advisories regarding tyre perishing and cracking, which typically affect rubber components more from age and lack of movement than from distance travelled. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and braking system during a physical inspection. The offside rear tyre has been flagged for cracking or perishing in three consecutive tests, specifically in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This suggests the owner has been slow to address age-related rubber degradation. Similarly, the rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in both the September 2024 and August 2025 tests. Beyond these consumables, the history shows a minor windscreen chip in September 2022 and sporadic tyre wear issues. While no structural corrosion or suspension failures have appeared in the records, the pattern of ignoring minor advisories implies that maintenance is reactive rather than proactive. An inspection should confirm if the brake discs show excessive scoring and if the tyres show any sidewall bulging or deep-seated cracking beyond what the tester recorded.
