2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · WD17 BYO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent inspection in March 2026 at 76,737 miles. This result follows several consecutive passes without defects, indicating a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The previous owners have consistently maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards, suggesting a proactive approach to mechanical upkeep rather than a reactive-only strategy. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 59,361 miles and the March 2026 test at 76,737 miles, the car covered 17,376 miles, which represents a steady usage pattern of roughly 8,600 miles each year. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular road use, which is often beneficial for maintaining engine seals and brake components compared to the corrosion issues frequently associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear points for a Qashqai of this age. Inspect the suspension coil springs and rubber bushes for signs of cracking or tearing, as these components degrade over 70,000 miles. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning, and although the record has not flagged binding calipers, the buyer should verify free movement of pistons. Additionally, examine the chassis and underside sills for surface corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle enters its second decade.
