2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · NG65 AGU

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-22 recording a pass at 114,326 miles. However, a failed test on the same date raises questions, though no defects were documented. Previous tests from 2024-07-22 and 2023-08-11 showed consistent passes with no defects, suggesting the vehicle has maintained compliance. The absence of recorded issues in recent tests implies no critical mechanical failures, though the 2025 failure without explanation warrants further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 114,326 miles aligns with its 10-year age, averaging 11,433 miles annually—a typical rate for its class. Mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with 14,383 miles added between 2023-08-11 and 2024-07-22, and 12,850 miles between 2024-07-22 and 2025-07-22. No significant gaps or rapid spikes are evident, indicating regular usage. The MOT history is relatively clean, with no recurring defects or major repairs noted, though the 2025 failure without details leaves some uncertainty about its condition. A buyer should inspect the suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for wear, as even minor issues can escalate. Structural integrity, including rust or corrosion on the chassis, is critical for a 10-year-old model. While the MOT records show no defects, the 2025 failure suggests potential unresolved concerns, making a pre-purchase inspection essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
