2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · ST64 ADE

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai exhibits a mixed maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-28 at 63,508 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-07-24 at 63,428 miles failed without defects, suggesting potential inconsistency in upkeep or technical issues resolved rapidly. The 2024 and 2023 tests also showed similar patterns, with passes and fails at comparable mileages but no recorded defects. This indicates a lack of significant mechanical failures but raises questions about the reliability of repeated testing without actionable findings. The vehicle’s mileage of 63,508 miles over nine years equates to an average of 7,056 miles annually, aligning with typical usage. The 2023-07-28 test at 35,078 miles marked a notable gap before the 2024-07-29 test at 49,110 miles, a 14,032-mile increase over 12 months. Subsequent annual jumps of 14,000 miles to 63,508 suggest consistent usage but no signs of prolonged inactivity. The MOT records are clean in terms of defect listings, though the frequency of fails without recorded issues implies potential oversights in testing or minor unresolved concerns. A buyer should scrutinize the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, common wear points in this model. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT history is reassuring, but the vehicle’s age warrants inspection of brake components, including binding calipers and brake disc thickness. The exhaust system and emissions compliance should also be verified, as these are frequent failure points. While the records show no critical defects, the pattern of repeated MOTs without recorded faults may indicate a need for deeper mechanical evaluation beyond standard testing.
