2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · KR17 AAJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-12 at 72,290 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior failed test on 2026-01-09 at the same mileage suggests an inconsistency. This pattern, alongside earlier failures in 2025 and 2024 with no recorded defects, indicates a lack of mechanical issues but raises questions about the reliability of the testing process. The absence of advisories or failures in the 2024-2026 period implies a stable maintenance trend, though the repeated failures without recorded faults warrant scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 72,290 miles at 9 years old aligns with average annual usage of 8,032 miles. The 2024-01-10 test at 53,646 miles showed a 9,267-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a 9,129-mile rise to 62,784 by 2025-01-10. The 2026 tests at 72,290 miles reveal a 9,506-mile jump in 12 months, which is within normal parameters but could reflect seasonal usage or storage. The lack of anomalies in the MOT record suggests consistent maintenance, though the repeated failures without defects may signal procedural errors or unrecorded repairs. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate fault codes. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, even though no issues were noted. Structural corrosion, particularly in the underbody or chassis, warrants attention given the vehicle’s age. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, as the MOT history lacks detail on potential hidden faults.
