Our Verdict
This 2016 Nissan Qashqai diesel presents
When viewing this black 2016 Qashqai, request a full inspection of the service records to see how past advisories have been addressed. Pay close attention to the front suspension components, particularly the ball joint dust covers and lower suspension arms which have flagged up in the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests. Negotiate on price if replacement suspension arms, coil springs, or braking components are due soon based on the history.
Check that all electrical systems, the 1.461cc diesel engine, and transmission operate smoothly during a thorough test drive. Verify whether the recent advisory for the offside rear corroded coil spring has been rectified since the October 2025 test. Ensure that general wear items like tyres and brakes match the mileage profile and have plenty of life left.
The 1.461cc diesel engine in this Qashqai is renowned for strong fuel economy, making it well-suited for long motorway journeys and everyday commuting alike. Road tax rates will depend on the exact V5C registration details, and insurance falls into a moderate group typical for mid-sized crossover vehicles.
Routine maintenance should account for typical consumable replacements like brake pads and suspension components as indicated by past MOT advisories. Factoring in fuel, standard insurance, V5C vehicle tax, and periodic servicing, a realistic estimated annual running cost sits around £1,100 to £1,400.
Inspect the front suspension thoroughly, focusing on the ball joint dust covers which were noted as severely deteriorated on both sides in October 2025, as well as the lower suspension arm bushes flagged in 2024. Examine the offside rear coil spring for the corrosion noted in the most recent MOT test.
Inspect the brake discs and pads across all four corners, keeping in mind that previous tests have noted both front and rear pads wearing thin. Check the condition of all tyres for even tread wear, remembering that tyre wear close to the legal limit has been flagged previously in the vehicle's history.
First registered in October 2016 and finished in black, this 1.461cc diesel Nissan Qashqai has recorded five consecutive MOT passes between 2021 and 2025. Its recorded mileage sits at 75,226 miles as of October 2025, demonstrating consistent usage. While recent tests highlight standard wear and tear items such as suspension ball joint dust covers and coil spring corrosion, the vehicle has never recorded an MOT failure in this recorded timeframe.
The Nissan Qashqai shows a strong market presence with an average MOT pass rate of 79.3% across hundreds of thousands of analysed vehicles, with headlamps, tyres, and ball joints appearing as top failure reasons.
