2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SN67 UBD

This 2017 Nissan Qashqai presents a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 27 October 2025, recorded at 48,825 miles, with zero defects flagged. The maintenance trend is broadly stable and improving. A rear brake pad advisory from October 2024 at 45,018 miles appears to have been rectified before the 2025 test, and the only other notable advisory was a September 2023 flag at 41,289 miles for cracking and perishing on both rear outer tyre sidewalls, a typical age-related rubber degradation issue rather than a structural concern. No recurring or worsening mechanical faults are evident across the record. The mileage profile is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,425 miles per year. The annual increments between tests are consistent, showing no sudden jumps or suspiciously long dormant periods. The 2022 double test on consecutive days at 36,364 and 36,365 miles indicates a pre-test repair attempt for a worn nearside front brake pad and scored front brake disc, both of which passed the following day. That isolated front brake wear event has not recurred. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests covers approximately 4,924 miles over twelve months, and the 2023 to 2024 interval shows a similar 3,729-mile increase, suggesting steady but light use throughout. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should focus on the rear brakes and tyres, given the two advisories in that area. Check the rear brake pads and discs for even wear, and examine all tyre sidewalls for renewed cracking or perishing, particularly if the tyres date from before the 2023 advisory. With such low annual mileage, inspect the exhaust system for surface corrosion from short-run condensation, and check underbody suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing that can occur from prolonged standing rather than use. The clean 2025 result is reassuring, but a brief road test to confirm no binding calipers or uneven braking pull remains prudent.
