2017 NISSAN QASHQAI1.6L Diesel

This Nissan Qashqai has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with every test since 2022 passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 26 February 2026—just six months prior to today—confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though the absence of any recorded issues across five consecutive tests does not preclude underlying wear beyond MOT scope. The lack of advisories or failings suggests no recurring mechanical failures have been formally documented, though this does not guarantee all components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding—have been systematically maintained. The mileage progression of approximately 10,140 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage increased steadily from 48,297 miles in March 2022 to 91,258 miles today, indicating consistent driving rather than neglect or excessive wear. There are no gaps exceeding a year between tests, which is commendable for ensuring timely compliance. However, the uniformity of the mileage increments also implies that consumable items—such as brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades—may require closer scrutiny, as they are not captured in the MOT record. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not always flagged in standard tests. Focus on the suspension system for worn or cracked bushes, particularly at the rear, where binding calipers or uneven tyre wear could indicate neglected servicing. Brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as the lack of advisories does not rule out gradual degradation. Additionally, check for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. The absence of MOT defects does not equate to flawless condition, so thorough visual and functional checks are essential.
