2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PX17 MVO

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai presents a broadly stable maintenance profile through its MOT history, with the most recent test conducted on 18 December 2025 at 78,400 miles resulting in a pass. The sole advisory raised at that final inspection concerned rear brake pads wearing thin, a routine consumable wear item rather than a structural or mechanical defect. Across the five recorded tests spanning from January 2022 through December 2025, the vehicle has consistently passed each inspection, indicating no escalating or unresolved fault pattern. The maintenance trend can be characterised as stable, with only minor, expected wear items flagged at each test. The mileage accumulation of approximately 8,711 miles per year over nine years sits squarely within typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The recorded intervals show steady annual progression, from 47,298 miles in January 2022 to 78,400 miles by December 2025, with no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in recorded distance that would suggest long periods of inactivity or odometer irregularities. The annual test dates cluster consistently around the December period, suggesting the previous owner maintained a regular yearly testing cycle. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the braking system during any in-person inspection. The December 2025 advisory on rear brake pads wearing thin, combined with the December 2024 flag for a nearside front service brake fluctuating, indicates that braking components have drawn tester scrutiny in two consecutive years. While neither defect was severe enough to cause failure, the pattern warrants a thorough check of rear pad thickness, disc condition, and front caliper operation before purchase. The January 2022 advisories on both nearside and offside rear tyres showing cracking or perishing also suggest the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary or exposed to the elements, so a close examination of all four tyres for age-related deterioration, including sidewall condition and date codes, is advisable. The December 2023 note regarding a nearside rear child seat preventing full inspection of the adult seatbelt is a minor administrative point, but the buyer should verify that the rear nearside belt retracts and locks correctly with the seat removed. Overall, the record reflects a vehicle that has been kept in roadworthy condition with no serious structural or mechanical defects identified across its testing history.
