2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · NA67 CXZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in November 2025, but the maintenance history reveals a significant decline in mechanical standard prior to that date. While the car maintained clean records between 2022 and 2024, the failure at 49,886 miles indicates a cluster of neglected components. The current trend suggests a shift from proactive maintenance to reactive repairs, where faults were only addressed after failing an official inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year to reach the current 49,886 mile mark. The data shows consistent annual testing between 2022 and 2025, with a jump of 8,775 miles between the October 2024 and November 2025 tests representing the highest annual accumulation. This low-usage pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to age, which aligns with the specific mechanical failures observed in the most recent test report. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the repairs following the November 2025 failure were comprehensive. The tester previously identified a fractured offside front coil spring, worn Macpherson strut pins, and perished suspension arm pins and bushes alongside severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers. These issues suggest the front-end assembly is reaching the end of life. Furthermore, the exhaust system requires close attention as the record noted a snapped flange bolt and a lambda sensor reading outside specified limits. You should verify that the exhaust leak has been properly sealed and that the engine is operating correctly to prevent further emissions-related failures.
