2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · BW65 DWA

The most recent MOT on 17 October 2025 at 77,962 miles recorded a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle is presently road‑worthy. Earlier advisories on tyre tread and thin brake pads have recurred but have not escalated to failures, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern focused on consumable wear rather than structural deterioration. Mileage has risen from 49,139 miles on 2 February 2019 to 77,962 miles by October 2025, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year in the last three years. The increase from 58,558 miles in May 2022 to 71,256 miles in October 2024 reflects a modest acceleration, yet the overall annual distance remains within typical usage for a ten‑year‑old compact SUV. No large gaps in testing are evident; the vehicle has been MOT‑tested annually without missed intervals. A prospective buyer should verify tyre condition on all four corners, confirming tread depth exceeds the legal 1.6 mm limit and checking for sidewall cracking that previously triggered advisories. Inspect front and rear brake pads for wear and assess disc condition, as thin pads were flagged in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Examine brake fluid level and quality, given a low‑fluid advisory in February 2021, and test the operation of the windscreen wiper blades, which were deemed defective in May 2022. A visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of corrosion on chassis members will ensure no hidden structural issues have developed.
