2016 NISSAN QASHQAI1.5L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a recent trend of neglected mechanical and consumable upkeep. While it passed its latest test in July 2025 at 47,028 miles, this followed a significant failure just four days prior. That failure revealed multiple critical issues across the braking, suspension, and tyre systems, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed repairs when forced to by the legal requirement of a passing MOT test, rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. A clear period of inactivity exists between June 2022 and June 2024, where the car covered only 9,516 miles over two years. However, the usage increased significantly between June 2024 and July 2025, with over 2,500 miles recorded. This low annual mileage often contributes to rubber-based components degrading, which aligns with the tyre perishing and sidew cracking noted in the 2025 records. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the repairs made after the July 2025 failure were effective. The tester specifically flagged a split offside front suspension arm bush and a compromised ball joint dust cover, which can lead to premature steering failure and uneven tyre wear. Furthermore, the braking system shows a history of neglect, with thin pads and worn discs noted on both axles. You should verify that the front brake discs have actually been replaced rather than just resurfaced, as the record indicated they were significantly and obviously worn.
