NISSAN QASHQAI2016 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. Following the most recent test in November 2025 at 95,239 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed, and the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that meets all essential safety requirements without failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage between annual tests, moving from 44,115 miles in November 2021 to 82,143 miles by October 2024. This regular interval suggests the car has not been subject to long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber components. There are no unexplained gaps or sudden mileage spikes that would suggest unusual strain on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and artwork condition, as these areas showed recurring faults in the past. The 2021 test flagged rear tyres worn to the legal limit, while the 2023 test noted thin front brake pads and cracking on the rear tyres. Although the most recent records are clean, an on-person check should verify that the pads and discs have sufficient life and show no signs of uneven wear. Given the age and mileage, inspecting the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue is also advisable to ensure the vehicle remains structurally sound.
