2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · LS67 PCU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a sudden decline in maintenance standards compared to previous years. While the car maintained clean MOT passes between 2022 and 2025, the April 2026 test at 37,141 miles revealed multiple advisories related to consumable wear. This suggests a transition from proactive maintenance to reactive repairs, as components were ignored until they approach legal limits. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,127 miles per year. The data shows consistent but low-usage patterns, moving from 22,335 miles in November 2022 to 37,141 miles by April 2026. However, the low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The 2026 test specifically noted cracking and perishing on the front outer tyres, a common symptom of a vehicle sitting stationary for long periods despite having low tread depth. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the 2026 record flagged both front and rear pads as wearing thin. The front tyres also show uneven wear on the edges, which typically indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the low-mile history, the inspector should also check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and ensure the calipers are not seized, which frequently occurs on cars that are not driven regularly.
