2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · VN67 AEG

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025 test at 26,195 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with the vehicle’s consistent annual maintenance pattern. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the history, suggesting the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. The absence of advisories or critical failures indicates the car has been driven within acceptable parameters for its age and mileage. The vehicle’s mileage progression reflects irregular usage, with a sharp increase from 20,653 miles (2024) to 26,195 miles (2025)—a 5,542-mile jump over 12 months. This contrasts with earlier annual increments of approximately 3,000–4,000 miles, implying possible periods of inactivity or reduced use prior to 2025. The low overall mileage (2,911 miles per year) for a nine-year-old vehicle raises questions about storage conditions, which could affect components like tyres, battery, and fluid systems. However, the MOT record lacks evidence of neglect beyond standard wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension for aged bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles may develop stiffness or cracking in these parts. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly given the recent mileage surge. Underbody rust, especially in areas prone to moisture, warrants scrutiny, as does the exhaust system for hidden leaks. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the vehicle’s usage profile suggests a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm components remain functional despite its atypical mileage pattern.
