2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DL17 FFZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 28 May 2026 at 37,781 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has passed its last five annual inspections without any failures. The absence of advisories in the latest test suggests that the immediate mechanical and structural requirements currently meet the minimum legal standard. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental usage, moving from 20,065 miles in May 2022 to 37,781 miles in May 2026. This low-frequency use typically indicates less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can increase the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to age and inactivity rather than mechanical friction. Attention should be paid to the tyres following the May 2025 test at 34,252 miles, where the tester flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres for damage, cracking or perishing. This is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out. A buyer must verify that these tyres have been replaced since that inspection, as perished rubber compromises grip regardless of remaining tread depth. The 2023 test at 25,023 miles noted that engine and side covers were obscuring certain items, which occasionally prevents a thorough visual inspection of fluid leaks or early stage corrosion. While the record shows no history of structural rust or brake failures, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and the brake calipers to ensure the low-mileage usage has not led to seized components or perished seals.
