2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · KM17 EUW

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai presents a broadly stable maintenance picture, passing every recorded MOT without a failure. The most recent test on 7 March 2026 at 99,033 miles recorded only minor advisories for rear tyre perishing and cracking, suggesting the vehicle is currently roadworthy but showing age-related rubber deterioration. The overall trend is one of consistent, if not meticulous, upkeep, with no recurring serious mechanical or structural failures across the five-year history. The mileage progression is steady and typical for a family crossover of this age. From 57,020 miles in March 2022 to 99,033 miles in March 2026, the vehicle has covered roughly 42,000 miles over four years, averaging approximately 10,500 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, indicating regular use rather than long periods of standing, which reduces the risk of deterioration from seized components or fuel system issues. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and steering components. The March 2025 test at 89,485 miles flagged slight play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint, a critical steering component that can cause vague handling and uneven tyre wear if left to degrade. This advisory was not present in the 2024 or 2026 records, but its appearance suggests the joint may be reaching the end of its service life and should be physically checked for play. The same test also noted nearside front brake pads wearing thin, a consumable item but one that hints at potentially uneven braking wear across the axle. Tyre condition has been a recurring theme throughout the history. Advisories for worn or perishing tyres appeared in 2022, 2024, and again in 2026, suggesting previous owners replaced tyres reactively rather than proactively. The 2026 advisory specifically cites cracking and perishing on both rear tyres, which points to age degradation rather than just wear. A buyer should inspect the date codes on all four tyres and the spare, as rubber older than six years can compromise grip and structural integrity regardless of remaining tread depth.
