2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · VE17 AAY

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-06-26 assessment at 43,931 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s service history suggests careful ownership, with no recurring faults or structural integrity issues flagged. The mileage of 43,931 miles over nine years equates to approximately 4,881 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this model. This low usage aligns with regular MOT testing every 12 months, though the absence of high-mileage wear patterns means components like tyres, brakes, and suspension may not have experienced typical degradation. Notably, the 2021 test at 23,105 miles and 2022 test at 29,667 miles show gradual accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps between inspections. While the MOT records lack specific mechanical findings, the low mileage warrants scrutiny of potential dry-running components. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for stiffness or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was stored for prolonged periods. Exhaust emissions and structural rust should also be checked, as these can develop in underused cars. The absence of advisories does not eliminate risks, so a pre-purchase inspection remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s actual condition.
