2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · MM17 SOE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 59,775 miles was a pass, it revealed a failure-level nearside front tyre which had reached the legal limit of 1.6mm. This follows a previous advisory for an offside front tyre in 2022, indicating a recurring pattern of neglecting tyre replacement until they reach critical wear points. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 30,926 miles in late 2021 to nearly 60,000 miles in early 2026. There is a gap of roughly 4,800 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests, which aligns with the overall annual average. This low annual mileage suggests the drivetrain and engine components have faced less stress than average, but it often masks degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must inspect the front-end alignment and suspension geometry. The recurring reports of tyres worn on the edge in 2022 and 2026 suggest a persistent tracking issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed by previous owners. The battery securing also requires a physical check, as the 2022 test flagged it as insecure, which can lead to terminal damage from vibration. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion under the undertrays is essential, despite the mention of them being fitted in 2025.
