2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CV67 FBU

The Qashqai presents as roadworthy following the September 2025 test, where it passed at 50,841 miles with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of pre-test failures followed by immediate passes. In September 2025 the vehicle failed on 8 September at 50,783 miles, then passed four days later on 12 September at 50,841 miles. The same sequence occurred in 2024: a failure on 31 August at 44,703 miles, then a pass on 7 September at 44,929 miles. No advisories or defects were ever recorded across the five tests from 2023 to 2025. The mileage sits low for a 2017 registration, totalling 50,841 miles over roughly nine years, an average of about 5,649 miles annually. The car added only 5,912 miles between the September 2023 test at 39,200 miles and the September 2024 pass at 44,929 miles, then a further 5,912 miles to the September 2025 pass. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods are likely. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged by testers. The repeated fail-then-pass cycle within days points to minor faults caught by the testing station and rectified before re-test, rather than owner-led preventative care. Failing twice on unspecified grounds without recorded defects implies the previous keeper deferred basic upkeep until the MOT deadline. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, underbody corrosion, and brake caliper operation, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop seized handbrake mechanisms or flat-spotted tyres unseen in the record. Given the absence of advisories, the mechanical outlook is acceptable for the age, but the dual failures warrant verification that any rectification work used genuine parts. Inspect the suspension arms and exhaust mounts in person, and confirm the current tyre age, since nine-year-old rubber may crack regardless of tread depth.
