2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FN67 SUA

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 8 August 2025 at 102,500 miles with no defects recorded. This outcome confirms the vehicle currently meets required roadworthiness standards, showing no immediate structural or mechanical failures. A failed test appears on the record for 17 August 2023 at 70,433 miles, yet the DVSA record indicates no defects were logged for that specific failure, suggesting an administrative anomaly or an aborted test rather than a mechanical fault. The subsequent retest on the same day passed cleanly, reinforcing the stable condition of the vehicle. Mileage accumulation reveals a notable shift in usage patterns. Between 10 August 2022 at 51,332 miles and 17 August 2023 at 70,433 miles, the vehicle covered 19,101 miles, dropping to 16,035 miles by 9 August 2024, and 16,032 miles by 8 August 2025. However, the recorded mileage has remained entirely static at 102,500 miles since the August 2025 test. Today, 8 July 2026, marks nearly a full year without any documented mileage increase. This stagnation suggests the Qashqai has experienced prolonged periods of standing, which demands attention to consumables like tyres and brake components that can deteriorate through inactivity rather than use. Despite the absence of recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer must inspect the implications of the vehicle's recent inactivity. Tyres should be checked for flat-spotting, sidewall perishing, and uneven tread wear, as stationary vehicles often suffer from these issues. Brake discs will likely exhibit surface corrosion from standing, requiring a road test to ensure pads have cleaned the rotors effectively without causing vibration or binding. Suspension bushes and coil springs require close scrutiny for age-related deterioration, while the underbody and structural points around the subframes must be inspected for corrosion, a common concern for nine-year-old SUVs operating in typical UK conditions.
