2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · KR17 ACZ

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-09-03 inspection at 61,337 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s compliance with safety standards over this period suggests reliable operation, though the absence of recorded defects does not preclude routine wear in components like tyres, wiper blades, or minor suspension elements. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,815 miles annually. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps between inspections. The 2022-03-25 test at 37,653 miles to the 2022-09-27 test at 43,180 miles reflects a six-month increase of 5,527 miles, which is within normal parameters. The lack of rapid mileage spikes or extended inactivity periods implies consistent use, though the absence of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential hidden issues. A buyer should conduct a thorough visual and functional check of the suspension system, focusing on bushes and coil springs, which may show wear over time. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop without immediate MOT failure. Structural integrity, particularly under the chassis, warrants scrutiny for rust, while the exhaust system and emissions controls should be verified for compliance. The vehicle’s clean MOT history does not eliminate the need for in-person assessment of these critical areas.
