2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · AX66 RZD

This Nissan Qashqai demonstrates a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five MOT cycles, with each test concluding without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2025-08-29 at 61,177 miles confirms no issues, reinforcing a stable maintenance trend. The absence of recurring faults across all tests suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular servicing, though this does not preclude wear beyond MOT thresholds or hidden mechanical degradation. The clean history is notable, but buyers should verify whether routine services—such as brake fluid changes, timing belt (if applicable), or suspension component replacements—were conducted according to the manufacturer’s schedule. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 6,118 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests, with each MOT occurring within the standard 12-month window, and no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The consistency implies steady ownership without extended periods of neglect or aggressive driving. However, the lack of advisories or defects does not account for wear items like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper pistons, which may require inspection beyond visual inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough examination of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension geometry and bushings, which are prone to wear at this mileage. The brakes, while not flagged, should be assessed for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and drums. Structural integrity—especially around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody—must be scrutinised for corrosion, as this is a common failure point for vehicles of this age. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as this is often overlooked in routine maintenance. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are free from deterioration.
