2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SL67 EMF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test conducted in October 2022 at 87,819 miles resulted in a pass, yet it introduced an advisory for a perished nearside rear tyre. This represents a stable trend compared to the 2021 failure where the car was sidelined for multiple defects, suggesting the owner is now addressing faults as they arise. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,750 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 18,000 miles between the September 2020 test at 54,394 miles and the 2021 test at 72,667 miles, followed by another 15,152 miles covered before the final record. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use rather than long periods, which generally benefits mechanical components but explains the expected wear seen on the brake system and rubber elements. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system and suspension assembly during an in-person inspection. The 2021 failure for pitted and scored front brake discs indicates a history of surface corrosion or aggressive braking, which should be checked for current disc thickness and uneven pad wear. Furthermore, the 2022 advisory regarding a cracking tyre edge suggests the rubber components are reaching the end of their lifespan regardless of tread depth. Inspect all sidewalls for perishing and suspension bushes for cracking, as these often degrade on Qashqai models at this mileage bracket.
