2016 NISSAN QASHQAI1.6L Diesel

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 June 2025 at 38,152 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes dating back to 8 June 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any annual examination. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 26,010 miles at the 2021 test, rising to 29,436 in June 2022, 32,348 in June 2023, 35,094 in June 2024, and 38,152 in June 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles per year, confirming light use with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The consistent annual increments suggest a single disciplined owner or infrequent short-distance operation rather than neglect. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer faces no obvious structural or mechanical red flags from the MOT history. The clean pass sheet means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions have all met standards at each examination. Low mileage combined with standing periods can still mask perished rubber components or surface corrosion not visible during a road test, so a physical inspection remains sensible. A pre-purchase check should focus on underbody structural integrity for rust, condition of tyres and wiper blades as age-related consumables, and confirmation that brake components show no binding after prolonged light use. The documentary record implies careful upkeep, but only a hands-on assessment will verify the Qashqai's true condition beyond the test bay.
