2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BJ66 ACY

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 55,044 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any annual examination. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 34,228 miles at the 21 September 2021 test, rising to 39,958 by 20 September 2022, 44,315 by 18 September 2023, 48,983 by 9 September 2024, and 55,044 by the 2025 test. That equates to roughly 5,200 to 6,000 miles per year, confirming light use. The sparse but consistent annual entries show no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes, though the low figures may reflect extended standing periods between drives. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and likely intermittent use. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members even when MOT tests record no faults. The clean history offers no flagged concerns, yet ten years of age warrants verification of underbody integrity and brake caliper freedom. The absence of recurring advisories suggests previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, but the low mileage means consumable wear is minimal while age-related degradation remains the principal risk. Examine tyre sidewalls for cracking and check exhaust emissions during a cold start. The vehicle's record supports a sound purchase assumption, subject to a physical appraisal of structural condition.
