2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.7L Diesel · ML70 EPA

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 58,671 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn to 3mm at the edge. This indicates that while the mechanical and structural components are meeting minimum standards, consumable items are reaching the end of their operational life and require immediate attention to prevent a future failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,778 miles per year. The record shows 15,879 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025, compared to 10,182 miles covered between September 2023 and July 2024. This steady usage suggests regular driving rather than long periods of standing, which typically benefits engine and component health. The lack of defects in the 2024 and 2023 tests reflects a period of well-maintained mechanical health during those specific intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the nearside rear corner, as the 2025 advisory suggests potential alignment issues or uneven wear caused by suspension geometry problems. The failure in September 2023 regarding an ineffective windscreen wiper was a minor peripheral fault, quickly resolved, but the wiper assembly should still be checked for perished rubber. Since no history of structural corrosion or brake failures has been recorded, the primary concern remains the state of the tyres and underlying suspension bushes to ensure the consistent mileage has not led to hidden wear on the chassis.
