2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · VE17 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented history. Although the most recent MOT test on 31 July 2025 at 79,028 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, the immediate preceding failure on the same day suggests a minor issue was rectified just before the re-test. Since July 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 52,023 miles and August 2023 at 60,805 miles, the car covered roughly 9,000 miles, followed by a similar interval of 10,000 miles between the July 2024 test and the July 2025 test. This steady usage pattern indicates regular operation which often prevents the degradation associated with long periods of sitting or sudden high-intensity stress. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the digital MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for a Qashqai of this age. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these are common points of wear that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they deteriorate. Checking the brake discs for thinning or binding calipers, and inspecting the chassis for early surface corrosion, will confirm the structural integrity reported by the tester.
