2016 NISSAN QASHQAI1.2L Petrol

This Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 83,664 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to February 2023. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a ten year old vehicle. The car covered 17,645 miles between February 2023 and January 2024, followed by 9,625 miles by January 2025, and a further 7,954 miles by the most recent test in January 2026. This steady pattern indicates the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps maintain the health of seals, gaskets, and the battery. The absence of any advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across multiple inspections. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical faults in the DVSA data, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance by the previous owners. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear items that may not trigger an MOT failure but affect longevity. Check the condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as these consumables are not mentioned in the clean records. Verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine maintenance matches the clean MOT trajectory.
