2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · VF17 PRZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 68,853 miles passed, the tester flagged pitted and scored front brake discs alongside both front tyres. This follows an advisory from January 2025 where front brake pads were noted as thin, suggesting the owner is consistently waiting for components to reach the point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,650 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression between 2022 and 2026, with the car covering roughly 28,000 miles over that four-year period. However, the jump in mileage of over 6,000 miles between the January 2025 and February 2026 tests indicates a recent increase in usage or a long trip, which aligns with the recurring wear issues observed in the more recent records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front axle and suspension geometry before purchase. The repeated reports of inner-edge wear on the front tyres in 2024 and 2026 strongly suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. Furthermore, the physical state of the front braking system requires immediate attention, as pitted and scored discs indicate they are likely due replacement alongside the new pads to ensure effective stopping performance and prevent uneven wear.
