2016 NISSAN QASHQAI ACENTA SMART VIS DCI1.5L Diesel

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes across five consecutive inspections. The most recent test conducted on 25 October 2025 at 23,353 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has avoided the common mechanical failures or wear-related degradation often seen in higher-mileage examples of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,335 miles annually. Between the 2022 test at 17,728 miles and the 2025 test at 23,353 miles, the car covered only 5,625 miles, suggesting infrequent short-distance use. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use can occasionally lead to secondary issues such as rubber component degradation, seized brake calipers, or flat-spotting on the tyres due to lack of motion. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the specific risks associated with a low-mileage history. Priority should be given to checking the tyres for cracking and signs of age rot, as well as the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting that occurs when a vehicle sits stationary. Also inspect the underside for early signs of structural rust or perished suspension bushes, as the MOT only identifies immediate safety failures rather than the preventative state of aging rubber components.
