2016 NISSAN QASHQAI1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT test on 11 April 2025 at 145,499 miles. This pass followed a failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage, suggesting a minor or avoidable defect was identified and immediately rectified to ensure the vehicle met legal standards. The lack of any recorded advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the vehicle currently maintains a clean bill of health, despite the high annual mileage. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity use, averaging approximately 14,550 miles per year over its ten-year life. A significant surge in usage occurred between January 2023 at 114,856 miles and April 2024 at 134,432 miles, where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in just fifteen months. Another 11,000 miles were logged in the following year period. This rapid accumulation places considerable stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components, which typically degrade faster on high-mileage vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. While the MOT record shows no current faults, the consistent usage necessitates a thorough check of the suspension arms, shock absorbers, and ball joints for signs of excessive play. The brake discs should be examined for thinning or uneven wear, as high-frequency driving often accelerates pad material loss. Given the age and mileage, verifying the chassis for structural corrosion around the sills and mounting points is essential to ensure the high-mile history has not compromised the integrity of the frame.
