2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · EY67 CSV

This Nissan Qashqai presents an exemplary record of roadworthiness, characterized by a total absence of defects or advisories across its last four annual inspections. This consistent performance, culminating in a clean pass on 5 August 2025, indicates a vehicle that has maintained its mechanical integrity without any recorded degradation of critical safety components or structural corrosion. The recorded mileage of 21,458 miles is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 2,384 miles per year. Such low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has spent considerable time stationary or has been used primarily for short-distance urban trips. Mechanically, this usage profile shifts the focus from typical wear-and-tear on the drivetrain and suspension to the potential for degradation caused by inactivity. Since the MOT history is devoid of advisories, the physical inspection should focus on verifying that the lack of recorded defects translates to real-world performance. During the test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the steering and the absence of any knocks or thumps from the suspension bushes and coil springs when traversing uneven surfaces. Any hesitation during acceleration or irregular idling should be noted, as these can be symptoms of low-mileage engine stagnation. Further attention should be paid to the braking system to ensure there is no pedal judder or binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently. Check for any fluid misting around the engine bay or signs of seepage from the gearbox and steering rack, as rubber components can shrink or crack during long periods of standing. A thorough check of the exhaust system for surface corrosion will confirm the structural integrity that the MOT tests have consistently validated.
