2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · CP16 NTK

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on 26 February 2026 at 58,530 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years. While the car failed its initial tests in both 2024 and 2025, the most recent inspection with no recorded defects suggests that the owner addressed and rectified the necessary mechanical issues to meet minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,853 miles per year. Data shows consistent but infrequent usage patterns, with only 1,024 miles covered between August 2024 and March 2025, and another 3,730 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brake components corroding due to extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their inspection on the components that caused the failures in August 2024 and March 2025, as the provided record does not detail the exact reasons for those rejections. Given the low mileage and age, it is vital to check for surface rust on brake discs and seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles sit for long durations. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the structural integrity for hidden corrosion, as these areas age based on time regardless of the distance driven.
