2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · CV16 AFE

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 21 July 2025 at 65,714 miles. The maintenance trend reads stable across the recorded history, with no advisories or defects logged at any test. A short-lived failure on 16 July 2025 at 65,711 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 65,714 against a ten-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,571 miles per year and matching typical use for this model. The DVSA data shows 39,725 miles on 13 December 2022, rising to 51,122 on 12 December 2023, then 60,875 on 11 December 2024, and 65,714 by July 2025. Annual accumulation stays consistent near 9,000 to 10,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The sparse, clean record gives little basis to suspect deferred consumable replacement beyond normal expectation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the MOT history logs no advisories that would expose emerging fatigue in those components. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion merit a ramp check given the vehicle's age, even though no test flagged rust or chassis concerns. The unexplained failure days before the July 2025 pass warrants confirmation that the V5C and test certificate align with the DVSA entry. Otherwise, the Qashqai's documented care implies disciplined servicing and no recurring mechanical trend requiring corrective action before purchase.
