2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · CJ54 FOS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 22 September 2025 at 40,021 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has remained in a good condition and has not suffered from the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,447 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 21,240 miles and October 2024 at 34,740 miles, the car covered 13,500 miles, showing consistent and moderate usage. The subsequent interval of 5,281 miles leading to the 2025 test reinforces this trend. Such low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it also increases the risk of component degradation if the vehicle sat for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no faults, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for issues associated with low-mileage use. Low use can sometimes lead to seized brake calipers or perished rubber bushes due to lack of movement. You should check the brake discs for pitting and inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking, as the MOT does not always detect these specific age issues. Given the lack of structural advisories, the chassis integrity appears sound, but a physical check of the underbody for surface corrosion remains standard practice.
