2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · YP67 LVW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test conducted in May 2025 at 58,580 miles identified wear on the front lower suspension arm bushes and noted thin front brake discs. While the vehicle passed the test, these entries indicate that rubber components and metal friction surfaces are now reaching the end of their service life after several years of defect-free operation. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between March 2024 at 36,514 miles and May 2025 at 58,580 miles, where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in just fourteen months. This rapid acceleration explains the transition from the clean 2022 report to the mechanical wear and brake issues flagged in later tests, as components have been subjected to much higher stress than the previous years suggested. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension to check for excessive play in the arm bushes, as the 2025 advisory suggests a deteriorating condition. The history of contaminated brake discs in 2023 followed by wear in 2025 necessitates a close check of the caliper condition and disc thickness to ensure they are not seizing. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding perishing rear tyres suggests the rubber may be prone for sidewall rot or cracking, which is common on low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
