2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · VC53 BEC

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 12 March 2026 at 27,165 miles resulted in zero defects or advisories. This indicates a highly stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met all safety and environmental standards without the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,018 miles per annum. Between March 2022 (16,179 miles) and March 2026 (27,165 miles), the car covered only 10,986 miles. This low usage suggests light mechanical stress, which generally limits wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. However, such long intervals between miles can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber and fluids that is not captured by mileage alone. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a buyer should physically inspect specific areas affected by low-mileage operation. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, as rubber hardens when vehicles sit for extended periods. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when brakes are not frequently used. Additionally, verify the suspension bushes and engine mounts for cracking, as these components can perish over time regardless of the low distance recorded on the odometer.
