2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · CE16 AEO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 21 November 2025 at 76,219 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes in the last two testing cycles. This suggests the previous owner is proactive in rectifying faults once identified by the tester, yet the vehicle is consistently failing to meet the minimum standard immediately prior to the annual inspection. The mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for a decade old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between November 2023 at 63,235 miles and November 2024 at 71,301 miles, the car covered 8,066 miles, with another 4,918 miles recorded in the following year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular road use, which generally prevents the degradation of drivetrain components and rubber seals compared to long-standing vehicles. While the history shows no specific mechanical advisories or structural corrosion, the buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the common failure points for the Qashqai. Given the age and mileage, pay close attention to the front suspension control arm bushes and coil springs, as these often perish at this interval. The buyer should also check the brake system for binding or uneven disc wear, as the recurring failures in the MOT history indicate that minor components are frequently reaching the limit of their operational life before being replaced.
