2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · BM17 FVF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of intermittent technical issues. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 87,446 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful retest in February 2025, which corrected a failure regarding an inoperative or malfunctioning engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). The transition from recorded failures in early 2024 and early 2025 to a clean certificate suggests that the previous owner has addressed the electronic engine management issues. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 31,083 miles in January 2021 to the current 87,446 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of vehicle stagnation, nor is there evidence of excessive high-speed motorway mileage that would prematurely age the drivetrain. The data shows a predictable increase in mileage, which aligns with the maintenance intervals recorded. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the front sub-frame, which was flagged as damaged but not seriously weakened during the February 2024 test at 67,282 miles. While the sub-frame passed, any signs of progressive corrosion or loosening mounting bolts should be checked. The history also shows a pattern of consumable wear, specifically regarding brake pads and tyres noted in the January 2022 test at 35,456 miles. Given the current mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes is advisable to ensure the vehicle remains within the current clean status. The recurring engine MIL failure in early 2024 and early 2025 indicates a previous fault with the engine management system. Although the November 2025 test shows no defects, a buyer should verify that no warning lights appear on the dashboard during a test drive. The windscreen damage noted in early 2024 appears to have been resolved, but checking for any new chips or cracks is a standard precaution. Overall, the maintenance trend has moved from reactive repairs to a clean, stable state.
