2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CD13 HAL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 13 May 2026 at 81,242 miles, which recorded no defects. While the history shows intermittent issues with consumables, the maintenance trend appears to be improving. The transition from the failures seen in 2020 and 2023 to a clean certificate in 2024 and 2026 suggests that previous mechanical or electrical faults have been addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 30,415 miles in August 2019 to the current 81,242 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of long-term inactivity evident in the data. This regular driving pattern typically helps prevent excessive corrosion on braking components, although the 2021 record noted some pitting on the rear discs. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension components. The May 2025 test at 75,601 miles flagged slight splitting in both nearside and offside front lower arm bushes. Although the vehicle passed the 2026 test, these rubber components are prone to further degradation. Checking for play in the suspension arms and inspecting the condition of the front tyres is advisable, as the 2025 record also noted uneven outer edge wear. The history also indicates a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding consumables. The 2019 and 2020 tests highlighted thin brake pads, worn discs, and inadequate tyre tread. While these issues seem to have been rectified, a physical inspection of the current brake pad thickness and disc surface should be conducted. The 2023 failure regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system and the damaged rear light unit should also be verified to ensure these specific electrical and lighting repairs were completed to a professional standard.
