2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FM17 MXD

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile despite some recurring consumable issues. In the most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 48,961 miles, the Qashai passed with no recorded defects, indicating the mechanical and safety systems were functioning within parameters. However, the previous test in September 2024 at 42,654 miles flagged a deteriorated front registration plate while not yet likely to be misread, suggesting a minor cosmetic age-related failure that does not impact the core mechanical integrity of the vehicle. At 48,961 miles over nine years, the car has covered a relatively low average of approximately 5,440 miles per year. This low usage typically results in less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, but increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading. The record from November 2022 at 33,123 miles noted that rear tyres showed signs of cracking or perishing, which is common in low-mileage vehicles that may sit for extended periods, as the compound dries out regardless of tread depth. The failure in September 2023 at 37,558 miles due to the offside front tyre having tread depth below the 1.6mm limit indicates a lapse in basic preventative maintenance at that time. Since the vehicle has passed the subsequent two tests without tyre issues, the owner appears to have addressed these immediate consumable needs. A buyer should still verify the current age of all tyres and inspect suspension bushes for cracking, as the low mileage often masks age-related degradation of rubber components.
