2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · AY16 ULP

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 44,945 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior examinations show the same clean outcome. The vehicle passed without fault on 29 May 2024 at 38,936 miles, on 26 June 2023 at 34,669 miles, and on 10 March 2023 at 31,843 miles. The only blemish is a failure logged on 7 March 2023 at 31,795 miles, yet the record lists no defects against that entry, and the car passed three days later. This points to an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 44,945 miles at the 2025 test, averaging roughly 4,494 miles per year since registration. The owner added just 6,009 miles between May 2024 and June 2025, and 4,267 miles across the 2023 cycle. Such light use suggests short local journeys or extended standing periods. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across any entry, so wear on consumables has clearly been minimal. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for issues low-mileage vehicles hide. Long idle spells breed perished rubber, seized handbrake mechanisms, and surface corrosion on structural members even when the MOT shows nothing. Check the underbody, sills, and subframe for rust. Test the brakes for binding calipers after the car has stood. Examine tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than tread wear, and verify fluid condition given the gentle annual distances. The history implies a cautious owner who kept the Qashqai serviced to pass, but physical checks remain essential before purchase.
