2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · X2 YEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 55,878 miles passed, it followed a failure just two days prior. That failure revealed critical issues including thin nearside rear brake pads and a worn, pitted disc, alongside a perishing nearside front tyre. The trend suggests that while the car is kept moving, components are only addressed once they reach the point of failure during an MOT inspection. At approximately nine years old with 55,878 miles, the Qashqai averages roughly 6,200 miles per year, which is typical for a modern family vehicle. The usage pattern appears consistent, with the vehicle progressing from 44,967 miles in November 2022 to 55,878 miles by November 2025. This lower-than-average mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the likelihood of rubber-based components degrading due to age rather than distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with rear components in both 2022 and 2025. The tester noted the nearside rear disc was scored and pitted, suggesting the previous owner may have neglected brake maintenance. Furthermore, the consistent history of tyre perishing and damage across 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicates the buyer should check all sidewalls for age cracking. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the low mileage can mask the degradation of rubber components that perish over a decade.
