2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DC05 ANC

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-07 inspection at 68,549 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating effective maintenance practices by previous owners. No advisories or failures were noted, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained within its operational parameters. The absence of recurring issues or escalating defects implies a low risk of hidden mechanical deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage of 68,549 miles aligns with its 10-year age, averaging 6,855 miles annually—a typical figure for this model. MOT records show regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps between assessments. The 2024-11-14 test at 60,676 miles and subsequent 2025-11-07 test at 68,549 miles reveal a steady annual increase of approximately 7,800 miles, reflecting normal usage. The clean MOT history over this period suggests no abrupt wear patterns or excessive strain on components like the drivetrain or suspension. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate visible faults. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but a physical inspection of calipers, discs, and brake lines is recommended to confirm no latent corrosion or wear. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or panel damage may not appear in MOT records. While the vehicle’s maintenance history is unblemished, a hands-on check remains essential to validate the absence of hidden issues.
