2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · EA02 AUD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual inspections. The most recent test conducted on 22 December 2025 at 67,093 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a single failure occurred in early 2024, the subsequent passes without any recorded-related advisories suggest that any identified issues were rectified immediately and the vehicle has remained maintained thereafter. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between the 2023 test at 55,336 miles and the December 2024 test at 62,674 miles, the car covered 7,338 miles. A more recent drop is noted between December 2024 and December 2025, where only 4,419 miles were recorded. This lower-than-average usage suggests that mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine internals remains minimal compared to high-mileage examples of the same model. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rubber components and suspension assembly, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from perished perished or cracks despite minimal travel. Although the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake failures, a check of the brake discs and control arm bushes is advisable given the vehicle's age. Since the failure in January 2024 was resolved quickly, verifying the specific cause of that past failure would ensure no recurring underlying mechanical issues persist.
