2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · BW66 BVU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of neglect regarding basic consumable upkeep. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 60,756 miles flagged front tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, alongside perishing rear tyres. While the vehicle passes, the recurring nature of tyre-related advisories suggests the owners only address faults when they approach failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the November 2021 test at 27,194 miles and the December 2025 test at 60,756 miles, the car covered roughly 33,500 miles. This low annual usage profile explains the presence of perishing and cracking tyres noted between 2021 and 2025, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of tread de-ply depth. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment settings, as the repeated edge wear on the front tyres noted in 2024 and 2025 indicates potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The 2023 report of pitted and scored front brake discs at 42,586 miles suggests the vehicle may suffer from corrosion during periods of inactivity. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for cracking in rubber components and perished seals, which often affects vehicles that sit for extended periods.
