2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · LS67 PCF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect scores to developing component wear. While the car maintained clean records for several consecutive years, the August 2025 test at 57,107 miles flagged multiple advisories related to the front axle and braking system. This trend suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase where age-related wear and consumable components are reaching the end of their effective service life. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between the 2024 test at 47,774 miles and the 2025 test at 57,107 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 9,300 miles. This steady accumulation suggests typical usage without excessive strain on the drivetrain, though the long intervals between tests may indicate periods of stationary use, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components regardless of distance driven. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The advisories for both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes in 2025 indicate that the rubber is beginning to perish or split. If these are not replaced, they will likely lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear. Furthermore, the front brake pads and discs were specifically noted as thin and pitted. Given that the discs were flagged for being scored, the entire front assembly likely requires immediate replacement to ensure effective stopping performance and to prevent judder.
