2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · AA12 APA

The most recent MOT, on 23 October 2025 at 83,059 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, so the vehicle is roadworthy in the eyes of the DVSA. The maintenance trend is stable overall. The single failure on 3 November 2022 at 60,515 miles was followed by a pass on the same date and mileage, which indicates a minor defect was rectified promptly, and every subsequent annual test has passed without advisories. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for the car's age. Between November 2022 and October 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 22,500 miles over three annual intervals: approximately 8,070 miles in the first year, 6,613 in the second, and 7,861 in the third. At 83,059 miles across about ten years, the annual average of roughly 8,300 miles falls in line with normal road use, and there are no suspicious gaps or sudden high-mileage spikes to suggest prolonged standing or heavy commercial-style running. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults, no specific component has been flagged as an ongoing concern. That said, a buyer should still arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection focusing on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding, and the condition of the tyre tread. The car is now ten years old, so structural rust on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points warrants a hands-on check even though the MOT history shows no corrosion advisories. The absence of recorded defects across four consecutive passes is a positive sign, but it does not replace a physical examination of these high-wear areas.
