2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · JB15 AND

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on August 7, 2025 at 68,950 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in the last two years, these appear to be administrative or minor issues rectified instantly rather than a systemic mechanical decline. The lack of recorded advisories across all three successful tests suggests that the vehicle has maintained a baseline of operational standards during the inspection periods. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical light-duty usage, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between the July 2023 test at 49,432 miles and the August 2024 test at 59,308 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles, followed by another 9,642 miles in the subsequent year. This steady usage reduces the likelihood of excessive stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components compared to high-mileage urban examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that triggered the failures in 2024 and 2025, although the record lists no specific defects for those events. Given the clean history of structural advisories, the primary concern remains age-related degradation of rubberized components like suspension bushings, which often perish on Qashqais of this era despite low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and check the condition of the lower control arms to ensure the low annual mileage has not led to uneven wear or corrosion during periods of inactivity.
