2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · NV66 BZF

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend despite a minor recent failure. The most recent test in February 2025 at 49,589 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a nearside front tyre with a tread depth below the legal limit. This indicates that while the owner is reactive to MOT-critical defects, there is an occasional lapse in monitoring consumable items prior to the inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 38,420 miles and February 2025 at 49,589 miles, the car covered roughly 11,000 miles over three years. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used primarily for short trips, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and seals if the car sits stationary for long periods. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the braking system, as the January 2024 test at 44,897 miles flagged thin front brake pads. Given the time passed since that advisory, the buyer must verify the remaining pad thickness and check the discs for surface pitting or corrosion caused by low usage. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and tyres, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related cracking in components rather than mechanical wear. The absence of structural corrosion advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains sound for now.
