2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DT66 UAV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following the most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 122,489 miles, which resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. While the record shows two instances of failure immediately preceding a pass—specifically in February 2026 and January 2025—the lack of specific defect descriptions in the data prevents a technical diagnosis of the previous failures. The current status indicates that any previous issues were successfully rectified, leaving the vehicle in a compliant state at the time of the last inspection. The mileage accumulation suggests a high-use profile for a nine-year-old vehicle. Between the February 2024 test at 92,187 miles and the February 2026 test at 122,489 miles, the vehicle covered 30,302 miles. This equates to approximately 15,000 miles per year, which is slightly higher than the national average. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle, which is generally positive for mechanical components like seals and gaskets, though it accelerates the wear on consumable items. A physical inspection is necessary to verify the condition of high-wear components typical for a Qashqai with this mileage. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer should scrutinize the suspension system for worn bushes or leaking dampers and check the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring. The recent failures, despite the lack of detail, suggest that the vehicle may require periodic attention to minor components like wiper blades, tyres, or lighting. The buyer should also examine the underside for signs of corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and exhaust system, to ensure no structural degradation has occurred during its high-mileage service life. While the MOT record shows no current defects, the frequency of the failures suggests the vehicle may be approaching service intervals for more significant mechanical components. A thorough check of the service history alongside the MOT record is recommended to confirm that regular maintenance has kept pace with the high mileage.
