2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CU16 HDL

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 29 January 2026 at 79,700 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and prior annual tests returned passes with no advisories, indicating consistent mechanical condition over the period reviewed. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,970 per year against a ten-year lifespan, a typical use profile for this model. The records show steady accumulation: 65,675 miles on 26 January 2024, 72,704 on 28 January 2025, and 79,700 by 29 January 2026. No gaps or sudden spikes appear in the data. The clean sheet across all passed tests and the absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions suggest the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. The January 2024 and January 2026 entries each show a fail logged on the test date followed by a pass one day later at near-identical mileage, with no defects recorded either time. This pattern points to administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as the retest cleared the vehicle without remediation. A buyer should still confirm the VOSA failure reason codes in person, since the record itself gives no technical detail. Given the sparse but clean history, a physical inspection should target common Qashqai wear points not captured by a fault-free MOT: front coil springs, track-rod ends, and rear trailing-arm bushes. Check brake calipers for binding after a road test, and inspect sills and subframe for structural rust given the vehicle's age. The low defect count implies reasonable care, but a faultless record offers no substitute for hands-on verification of consumables.
