2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · VE66 ABK

This Nissan Qashqai presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 26 June 2025 at 50,803 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to October 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,080 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between June 2024 and June 2025, where the odometer rose from 38,299 to 50,803 miles. This jump of over 12,000 miles in a single year contrasts with the previous period between November 2021 and November 2022, during which the car covered only 3,356 miles. This pattern suggests a shift from light, occasional use to more regular commuting. Because the MOT history is devoid of any recorded faults, there are no recurring mechanical trends to flag. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions is unusual for a vehicle of this age and indicates a lack of typical wear and tear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perishing rubber seals and the condition of the tyres, as low-mileage cars often suffer from age-related cracking rather than tread wear. Verify the brake caliper movement to ensure no seizing has occurred during periods of inactivity. A thorough check for surface corrosion on the underbody is advised to confirm the vehicle has been stored in a dry environment.
