2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DP65 SSX

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 with 101,957 miles and no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend compared to the previous two years where the vehicle failed the initial test on both occasions. The transition to a clean sheet in the latest inspection suggests that the previous owner successfully addressed the mechanical issues that previously prevented the car from meeting minimum standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 84,552 miles and the January 2025 test at 94,160 miles, the car covered 9,608 miles, followed by another 7,797 miles in the final year leading up to the January 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps maintain the integrity of seals and drivetrain components. While the most recent report is clear, the recurring failures in January 2024 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle was prone to specific mechanical or emission-related faults. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on Qashqais at this mileage. Given the 100,000-mile milestone, checking for signs of oil leaks and evaluating the condition of the brake discs and calipers is essential to ensure the previous failures were not symptomatic of deeper underlying structural or mechanical degradation.
