2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · VE17 ABU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 at 43 502 miles with no recorded defects, confirming it is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend shows improvement: after a series of failures in 2020‑2024—including brake pad wear, disc corrosion, a fractured front coil spring and a malfunctioning TPMS—the latest test is clean, indicating that corrective work has been carried out and the car is now in a stable condition. Mileage accumulation has been low for a nine‑year‑old car. The log shows 24 107 miles in April 2020, rising to 43 502 miles by November 2025, an average of roughly 4 800 miles per year. Tests have been performed annually, with the only gap being the COVID‑19 six‑month extension in 2020. The modest mileage increase suggests light use or extended periods of storage rather than high‑intensity running. A buyer should inspect the front brake system closely, checking pad thickness and disc condition for wear, pitting or corrosion, as pads were repeatedly flagged as thin and discs showed surface corrosion. The nearside front coil spring, which was fractured in November 2023, must be examined for damage or fatigue. The TPMS sensor has failed on multiple occasions, so the system should be tested for proper operation. The registration plate mounting should be verified for deterioration, and the wiper blades and washer jets inspected for effective cleaning. Finally, a thorough visual check for rust or corrosion on the chassis, suspension bushes and exhaust mounts is advisable given the recorded advisories.
