2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DC16 NZF

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 June 2025 at 82,633 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 13 December 2024 at 76,512 miles. The vehicle shows no advisory or failure items across its supplied history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards over the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,263 miles per year. The test on 12 December 2022 at 59,038 miles, 5 December 2023 at 65,755 miles, and 13 December 2024 at 76,512 miles show an even annual accumulation of around 6,000 to 11,000 miles. A minor anomaly appears in early December 2024: the car failed on 5 December 2024 at 76,401 miles yet passed eight days later at 76,512 miles with no defects listed, suggesting the initial failure may have involved administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than consumable wear. The clean MOT record gives no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion to pursue. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as MOT passes at this mileage do not certify component life remaining. The December 2024 fail-pass sequence warrants a check of the test centre documentation to confirm no suppressed defect. Previous keepers maintained the vehicle to pass standard without lapse. No recurring fault trend exists to indicate worsening mechanical risk. Given the age, expect natural degradation of rubber mounts and exhaust emissions components despite the absent advisories.
