2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BJ66 AAE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 July 2025 at 81,131 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across the last five tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical and structural components effectively, avoiding the common failures often seen in this model and age. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old road car, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per annum. Between the May 2024 test at 72,200 miles and the July 2025 test at 81,131 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles, indicating steady and regular use. There are no significant gaps in the history that would suggest long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or seized brake components. The data reflects a predictable usage profile where the vehicle has been kept on the road and subjected to testing at regular intervals. While the MOT record shows no historical faults, an in-person inspection should focus on common wear points for the Qashqai platform that are not always captured during a stationary test. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of rubber tearing, as these can degrade over time regardless of mileage. Given the age, checking the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads is advisable to ensure no uneven thinning has occurred. Additionally, a visual check of the underside for corrosion on the sills and structural members remains standard practice, though the clean history suggests the structural integrity remains sound to date.
