2016 NISSAN QASHQAI1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass on 26 August 2025 at 117,043 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently met standards without recorded advisories or recurring defects. While the history shows failures in August 2023 and 2025, the immediate subsequent passes suggest that the previous owners were proactive in rectifying faults identified by the tester rather than allowing them to escalate into long-term mechanical neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per annum. Between August 2024 and August 2025, the car covered 10,343 miles, which represents a steady usage pattern. The interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests saw 8,900 miles, indicating a slight dip in usage but remaining within typical domestic parameters. This regular use suggests the vehicle has been moved frequently, which helps prevent internal corrosion and component seizing associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as the high-mileage nature of this Qashqai accelerates wear on bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Although the record shows no current advisories, the 117,000-mile mark is a critical threshold where rubber components and drivetrain mounts often require attention. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion, particularly around the exhaust mounting and rear subframe, as these are common areas of failure for this model despite a clean digital history.
