NISSAN QASHQAI2016 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-01-22 MOT at 61,479 miles. The prior three annual tests, including a 2025-01-22 pass at 58,100 miles and a 2024-01-30 pass at 54,132 miles, confirm consistent compliance. A single 2024-01-18 failure at 53,962 miles is noted, though no defects were logged, suggesting a technical or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. No recurring issues or escalating problems are evident in the record. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 6,148 miles annually. The 2023-01-16 test at 48,772 miles marks the earliest recorded data, with subsequent tests spaced one year apart. A brief 12-day interval between the 2024-01-18 failure and 2024-01-30 pass at 54,132 miles indicates rapid retesting, though no defects were identified. The absence of significant mileage gaps or irregularities suggests regular maintenance and consistent usage patterns. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical faults, a buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly given the 2024 failure’s unrecorded nature. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant inspection for wear, as does the exhaust system for corrosion. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or panel damage may not be captured in MOT records. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s overall mechanical health.
