NISSAN QASHQAI2016 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 August 2025 at 97,317 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes in the last two testing cycles. This suggests that the previous owner is reactive to MOT requirements rather than proactive with preventative maintenance, as defects were clearly identified and then rectified just before the re-test. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a decade, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 78,387 miles and the September 2024 test at 87,935 miles, the car covered 9,548 miles. Another 9,382 miles were clocked in the following year up to the August 2025 test. This regular usage indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the engine seals and brake components to prevent seizing. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 necessitate a close physical inspection of common Qashqai wear points. A buyer should specifically examine the front suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these often fail at this mileage bracket. Given the reactive history, checking the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or thinning is vital to ensure the previous failures were addressed with quality parts. Additionally, inspecting the chassis for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points will confirm the structural integrity remains sound despite the vehicle's age.
