2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CU17 VGJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 28 April 2026 at 72,499 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the immediate failure on that same date indicates a minor lack of pre-test attention to detail. The tester flagged insufficient washer fluid and a low nearside headlamp aim, which are non-mechanical defects that were rectified quickly, suggesting the owner is willing to address faults once identified by the tester. At 72,499 miles over nine years, the Qashqai averages 8,055 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with approximately 14,000 miles covered between March 2024 and February 2025, and another 8,480 miles between February 2025 and April 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components within the system. A buyer should pay close attention to the front-end suspension based on the February 2025 record at 64,019 miles. The tester identified play in the nearside lower anti-roll bar linkage and a worn rear bush on the offside front suspension arm. While these did not result in a failure, they represent the onset of wear that often leads to knocking or uneven handling if left ignored. The 2025 test also highlighted multiple tyre issues, including perishing, cracking, and a nail, indicating that the previous owner may have neglected basic consumable maintenance until prompted by the MOT inspection.
