2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · BD66 BZR

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 February 2026 at 65,756 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern where the owner has consistently addressed immediate test failures to result in a pass upon re-test. The recurring failures in February 2025 and 2026 suggest minor mechanical or consumable issues that were rectified quickly, rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure or structural degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical low-use patterns, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the February 2024 test at 53,170 miles and the 2025 test at 60,398 miles, the car covered 7,228 miles. The subsequent interval saw 5,358 miles covered before the February 2026 test. This steady, low annual mileage generally indicates less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluids due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2025 and 2026, as the record does not specify the exact defects. Given the low mileage, these likely involved simple items like light bulbs, wiper blades, or minor tyre tread issues. However, because the vehicle is ten years old, inspect the chassis for surface corrosion and check the suspension bushes for cracking, as these components can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Verify the brake discs for pitting or rust, which often occurs on vehicles that sit frequently.
