2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CE16 AEF

This Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of mechanical integrity. The most recent MOT on 25 July 2025 at 54,413 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to July 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids common wear-and-tear failures. The mileage is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,441 miles per year. The distance covered between the July 2023 test at 45,765 miles and the July 2025 test at 54,413 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,300 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of heavy commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. The absence of any recorded defects, advisories, or recurring failures across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the DVSA record shows two failures on the same days as the passes in 2023 and 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly during the test. There is no evidence of structural corrosion, suspension bush degradation, or brake disc wear in the official history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often deteriorate during low-mileage use. Check for perished rubber seals, tyre cracking due to age rather than tread wear, and potential battery degradation from infrequent long trips. Since the MOT record is exceptionally clean, a manual check of the service history is necessary to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements occurred regardless of the low annual mileage.
