2016 NISSAN QASHQAI1.5L Diesel

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai is currently roadworthy, having passed the September 2025 MOT at 78,306 miles with no defects recorded, and the overall maintenance trend remains stable, showing no evidence of worsening or improving condition since the previous September 2024 test. Mileage has risen from 36,912 miles in October 2019 to 78,306 miles in September 2025, averaging about 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle; however, the jump from 54,751 miles in January 2022 to 56,892 miles in April 2022 represents a rapid accumulation of roughly 2,100 miles in three months, suggesting a period of intensified use that may have accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical parts. Recurring advisories in the record – near‑ and off‑side front brake discs described as worn, pitted or scored (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) and fluctuating service brakes (1.2.1 (e)) – indicate that the braking system has experienced repeated stress, while the absence of any suspension or structural defect entries suggests that bushes, coil springs and chassis corrosion have not been flagged, though a physical inspection remains essential to confirm their condition. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for play or cracking, verify that the front brake discs show no excessive pitting or scoring, test the calipers for binding, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for rust or structural damage, as these components are the most likely to reflect the mileage pattern and prior advisory notes despite the consistently passing MOT outcomes.
