2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · VE17 ADV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests passing without defects. The most recent 2026-03-27 inspection at 51,377 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results from 2025-04-22 (47,444 miles), 2024-04-30 (41,608 miles), 2023-05-02 (35,350 miles), and 2022-05-06 (27,788 miles). No recurring faults or escalating concerns were recorded, suggesting consistent maintenance and minimal mechanical degradation over its nine-year lifespan. The mileage progression reflects a steady annual accumulation of approximately 5,700 miles, remaining below the typical usage for its age. Gaps between tests are regular, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity indicated. The low total mileage may suggest infrequent use or periods of storage, which could affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers through lack of dynamic wear. However, the absence of corrosion, structural issues, or emissions failures in the record mitigates immediate red flags. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly if the car was stored for extended periods, as static weight can degrade bushes or springs. Inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as low mileage sometimes correlates with infrequent braking. Check for signs of rust in hidden panels or underbody areas, as MOT tests do not always detect superficial corrosion. Despite the clean record, a pre-purchase inspection should confirm fluid levels, belt integrity, and exhaust system soundness, as these elements are not assessed in standard MOTs.
