2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · BW66 EFD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 47,305 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories regarding tyre degradation and front brake disc condition. This marks a departure from the clean record seen in 2024, suggesting that despite the low mileage, the vehicle is beginning to show age-related wear on rubber and metal components. At ten years old, the recorded mileage of 47,305 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,730 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the history, with only 4,579 miles covered between November 2024 and 2025. However, low mileage often leads to the deterioration of rubber components due to inactivity. The 2025 advisories for cracking and perishing on three separate tyres are classic symptoms of a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods rather than accumulating driven mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2023 test flagged a worn offside front suspension arm bush, and the 2025 report noted pitted and scored front brake discs. These issues should be checked for further play or excessive corrosion. Additionally, the perishing of the tyres indicates the set is likely nearing the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth, necessitating an immediate replacement to ensure grip and safety.
