2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · KM61 ADE

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent March 2026 MOT at 41,774 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across seven consecutive annual inspections suggests the owner prioritized regular servicing, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear patterns. Mileage progression shows annual increases of approximately 5,000 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s low overall usage for its nine-year age. The 2022 test at 21,491 miles to 2026’s 41,774 miles reflects steady but minimal activity, which may indicate infrequent use or periods of inactivity. This pattern reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brakes but could lead to component stiffness or corrosion if the car was stored for extended periods. The MOT history lacks gaps, implying regular operation, though the sparse data offers limited visibility into non-MOT-related maintenance. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for signs of age-related fatigue, as low mileage can mask wear. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as prolonged inactivity may affect their functionality. Structural integrity should be verified via a detailed undercarriage examination, as rust or damage is not flagged in MOT records but could develop in hidden areas. Confirming service history beyond MOTs will further clarify the vehicle’s mechanical care.
