2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · KR17 ABX

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-20 confirming compliance at 76,983 miles. A prior failure on 2026-03-19 at the same mileage recorded no defects, suggesting an anomaly or administrative error. Previous tests from 2023 to 2025 showed consistent passing results with no recorded issues, indicating reliable maintenance. The absence of structural, brake, or suspension defects in these records implies the car has been well-maintained, though the recent failed test without explanation warrants further scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,554 miles annually. The 2023-03-14 test at 62,650 miles to 2024-03-18’s 67,651 miles shows a 5,001-mile increase, followed by a 5,534-mile rise to 73,185 miles by 2025-03-10. The final 3,798-mile jump to 76,983 miles by 2026-03-20 reflects normal usage. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, supporting the conclusion of consistent, moderate driving. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical faults, the recent failed test without defects raises questions about potential oversight. A buyer should inspect the braking system for wear, particularly given the proximity of the failure, and check suspension components for unusual play or corrosion. The absence of exhaust or emission-related issues in the records is positive, but a visual assessment of the underbody and wheel arches for rust is advisable. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound, but the unexplained failure warrants a pre-purchase inspection to confirm its condition.
