2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · BW16 XFV

This Nissan Qashqai presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 76,037 miles showing no defects—just the fourth consecutive annual pass with no advisories or failures. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been well maintained under routine servicing, particularly in critical areas like brakes, suspension, and emissions. No trends of deterioration are evident; the consistent passes indicate either diligent ownership or a model known for reliability in these components. The latest test, just ten months ago, confirms the car meets current DVSA standards without immediate concerns, though some wear items like tyres and wiper blades would still require personal inspection. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,600 miles per year over its lifetime. There are no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps—each annual test shows steady progression: 37,873 miles in 2022, 48,788 in 2023, 60,410 in 2024, and 76,037 in 2025. This pattern suggests the car has been in regular use without extended periods of neglect or heavy workload, reducing the risk of hidden wear in less frequently checked areas. The absence of mileage anomalies also implies no history of odometer tampering, a common red flag in used vehicles. Given the flawless MOT record, a buyer should still verify a few high-wear components in person. Check the condition of the suspension bushes, particularly the front lower arms and rear trailing arms, as these can degrade without causing immediate MOT failures but may affect handling. Inspect the brake system thoroughly—while the MOT shows no issues, binding calipers or uneven disc wear could develop between tests. The underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, especially if the car has been driven on rural or salty roads, as surface rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Finally, confirm the tyre tread depth and condition, as these are consumables not covered by the MOT history provided.
