2016 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Smart VIS DCI 1.5L Diesel · JXZ 6042

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all MOT tests from 2021 to 2026 resulting in a pass. The most recent January 2026 test at 110,618 miles confirmed no defects, aligning with the prior 2025 and 2024 tests that also showed no issues. This consistency suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across five consecutive tests indicates a lack of urgent repair needs, though routine maintenance remains essential for long-term reliability. Mileage progression shows a typical annual average of 11,062 miles over the vehicle’s 10-year lifespan. Notable gaps include a 13,368-mile increase between the 2021 test (52,903 miles) and 2022 (69,273 miles), followed by a 12,668-mile rise to 82,641 miles by 2024. These increments suggest regular usage, though the 2022–2025 period saw a slower accumulation of 13,919 miles over three years. No irregularities in mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity are evident, and the lack of defects in all tests implies the vehicle has not suffered undue wear from heavy usage or neglect. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often manifest gradually. The exhaust system and emissions controls, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for hidden leaks or damage. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the record, so a professional assessment of the chassis and body panels for rust or deformation is advisable. The MOT history provides no evidence of critical faults, but proactive checks on these areas will confirm the car’s ongoing suitability for use.
