2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · LN17 AEO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend with a clean recent test record. The most recent test on 25 April 2025 at 43,999 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a prior pass on 18 February 2025 at 42,213 miles. This sequence shows consistent compliance over the last three years. The earlier failure on 2 March 2023 at 31,864 miles listed no defects, and the subsequent pass on 3 March 2023 at identical mileage suggests an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation remains low for a nine-year-old vehicle. From the 9 February 2024 test at 37,667 miles to the 18 February 2025 test at 42,213 miles, the car covered just 4,546 miles in roughly twelve months. The 2023 to 2024 interval shows 5,803 miles added between 3 March 2023 at 31,864 miles and 9 February 2024 at 37,667 miles. Such restrained use implies lighter wear on drivetrain components, though prolonged standing can accelerate perished rubber and corrosion in hidden structures. The record lacks any gap exceeding thirteen months, so continuity of testing is sound. Despite the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or structural integrity, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection. Low annual mileage often masks degraded tyres, wiper blades or binding calipers that a short test route may not expose. The 2023 null-defect failure warrants confirmation that no outstanding manufacturer recalls or documentation discrepancies exist. Previous owners appear to have maintained statutory testing punctually and avoided neglect of consumables severe enough to trigger advisories. The clean history does not negate the need to scrutinise underside corrosion and exhaust emissions during a pre-purchase examination, given the vehicle's age and the propensity for Nissan chassis components to suffer environmental wear.
