2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · HJ17 AAX

This Nissan Qashqai has maintained a consistent and clean MOT history, with no defects or advisories recorded across the last five consecutive tests. The most recent inspection, conducted on 2025-10-29 at 54,662 miles, confirms the vehicle passed all mandatory and advisory checks without exception. This pattern of uninterrupted pass marks—spanning from October 2021 to October 2025—indicates the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical failures or structural issues that would warrant repeated MOT failures. While this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance, the absence of advisories suggests the previous owner adhered to basic upkeep, though a thorough independent inspection remains essential. The recorded mileage of 54,662 miles over approximately nine years aligns with typical usage patterns for this model, averaging around 6,074 miles annually. There are no significant gaps in testing dates, and the mileage increments are steady, suggesting the vehicle has not been left unused for extended periods or subjected to aggressive driving cycles. The consistent 12-month intervals between MOTs further imply regular servicing, though the absence of service records means critical fluid changes, suspension servicing, or timing belt intervals cannot be confirmed. The lack of advisories also rules out obvious neglect, such as ignored brake wear or suspension degradation. Given the clean MOT record, the primary areas for a prospective buyer to examine closely would be the suspension components—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—given their typical wear rate at this mileage. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, as even minor issues can escalate without visible MOT failings. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, warrants attention, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or salted environments. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as these are common failure points that may not always trigger MOT advisories until they become severe. Finally, the tyre tread depth and condition, while not flagged in this record, should be verified, as failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent.
