2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DP16 BXG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 9 July 2025 at 106,957 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This follows a consistent history of passes despite a single failure in July 2024, which was immediately rectified to return to a clean status in the subsequent test. The lack of advisories in the last two inspections suggests that the previous owner proactively addressed mechanical issues before they escalated. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per annum. Between November 2022 at 76,930 miles and July 2023 at 84,105 miles, the car covered 7,175 miles in eight months, while the subsequent year saw 11,750 miles between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests. This steady usage pattern indicates regular road driving rather than the mechanical degradation associated with long periods of stationary or extreme high-intensity use. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for the Qashqai of this age. Given the 100,000-mile milestone, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these components often show signs of fatigue at this interval. Check the brake discs for thinness or pitting, and examine the underside for any developing chassis corrosion, as the MOT only identifies structural weakness rather than surface rust.
