Can you guy help me? Can you open the bonnet and look at the back of your headlights and also look at the rod that keeps the bonnet open? See if it has any markings or stickers on them.
I started to query all of this when i noticed by bonnet did not align to the bumper on my 171 new model QQ.
Thanks!!
Evidence of accident damage?

We have a QQ J11A but I checked our Bonnet Strut and there are no markings, also had a look around the Lights with a torch and mirror and only found Sticky Labels. You could be correct in assuming damage but you need to look around carefully for paint overspray, new sealed areas unpainted, misalignment of Parts, paint missing on fixings etc. the chalk marks could just be identification of parts or quality info’ - might help Dave

To me the headlamp picture indicates to me it’s been taken out/ refitted, the middle photo could possibly be a salvage parts identifier

QQuestions, are we re-inventing Wheel here, was this question not covered on this other post of yours, as it looks like you have the confirmation from a Nissan Dealer on the parts - Dave
“So, went to another Nissan dealer. They said that the bonnet stay (the metal bar you erect to keep the bonnet open) was a replacement part, the headlights were replacement parts! They suspect the car was in a collision and repaired!! So, it looks like a 2017 Qashqai (ex Hertz) was sold to me by a main Nissan dealer and the damage was never revealed! “
