2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · VF66 CBX

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai presents an exemplary maintenance trend, remaining entirely defect-free across its recorded MOT history. The most recent examination on 26 November 2025 at 43,772 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, demonstrating a stable and highly consistent standard of upkeep. This unblemished record indicates the previous owner addressed all mechanical and structural prerequisites without requiring remedial work, reflecting diligent routine maintenance rather than reactive repairs. The vehicle's usage profile is remarkably low for its nine-year age, averaging roughly 4,864 miles annually. Examining the chronological intervals, the mileage increased by 2,676 miles between March 2022 and April 2023, 2,068 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, and 2,374 miles between April 2024 and November 2025. The nineteen-month gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests yielded only 2,374 miles, confirming prolonged periods of short-trip usage or standing. Such low-mileage accumulation demands careful scrutiny of deterioration caused by age rather than wear. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection must prioritize age-related degradation typical of a low-mileage vehicle. Short, infrequent journeys prevent components from reaching optimal operating temperatures, risking moisture accumulation in the exhaust and oil. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for binding, as pads and discs rarely reach temperatures high enough to wipe themselves clean. Examine the tyre sidewalls for perishing and cracking, and check the suspension bushes for deterioration, as rubber hardens with age regardless of mileage. The structural integrity of the underbody requires verification for corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and suspension mounting points, which can suffer from prolonged standing.
