2007 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · NK57 OCZ

The 2024‑04‑17 MOT at 121,151 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged rear sub‑frame corrosion, rear lower suspension arm corrosion, slight play in both front track rod ends, a near‑side front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and a front brake disc that is pitted but not seriously weakened. The presence of these advisory items shows a stable maintenance trend, with no evidence of worsening faults since the 2023 test at 114,417 miles. Mileage has risen from 69,990 miles in August 2014 to 121,151 miles in April 2024, a total increase of 51,161 miles over ten years, averaging roughly 5,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2007 model. The record shows occasional data entry anomalies, such as the 16‑mile jump between the 2016‑08‑30 and 2016‑08‑31 tests, but overall the mileage pattern is consistent and not indicative of unusually high wear. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear sub‑frame and both rear lower suspension arms for any deepening rust that could compromise structural integrity, examine the front track rod ends and ball joints for excessive play, and verify the condition of the front brake discs, pads and tyre tread depth. The history of driver’s airbag warning lamp faults in 2019 also warrants a functional check of the airbag system, while the recurring tyre wear suggests the need for a full suspension and steering geometry assessment.
