2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SF66 ABP

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 67,219 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle met statutory standards at that date. A failed test four days earlier on 10 October 2025 at the same mileage shows no defects logged, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. Across the prior three years the car passed cleanly, indicating no worsening trend in mechanical condition. Recorded mileage sits at 67,219 miles against a nine-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,469 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model age. The DVSA data shows steady annual accumulation: 44,209 miles in November 2022, 49,517 in November 2023, 58,205 in October 2024, and 67,219 by October 2025. No abrupt jumps or prolonged standing gaps appear in the sequence. The clean advisory history across all entries suggests previous owners kept consumables and core systems within tolerance, though sparse commentary limits deeper inference on component care. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of recorded advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The October 2025 fail with no defects warrants verification of the original refusal reason through DVLA paperwork to rule out undocumented rectification. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be physically checked, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not guarantee absence of early-stage rust on a 2017 chassis. Given the consistent pass record and ordinary mileage, the Qashqai shows no evidence of deferred maintenance or recurring mechanical faults. The repeated clean tests imply disciplined ownership, but the unexplained 2025 failure remains the only anomaly requiring documentary confirmation before purchase.
