2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DV66 AEA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 June 2025 at 86,775 miles. This latest test recorded no defects or advisories, suggesting the car is in a healthy mechanical state. The history shows a pattern of passing tests without lingering issues, although the record contains two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 8,678 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 74,662 miles and the June 2025 test at 86,775 miles, the vehicle covered 12,113 miles over approximately 32 months. This indicates steady, moderate usage rather than erratic bursts of high mileage or long periods of stagnation. The MOT record is unusually clean, with no specific defects or advisories listed for any of the tests since 2022. While the failures in October 2023 and November 2024 are noted, the lack of recorded reasons for these failures in the data provided makes it difficult to identify specific recurring mechanical weaknesses. The absence of mentions regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions suggests a well-maintained chassis. A buyer should still perform a physical check of common wear items that may not have triggered a failure. Focus on the condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as these consumables often wear down between test intervals. Inspect the underbody for any surface corrosion and check the service history for evidence of oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine has been maintained beyond the basic requirements of a roadworthiness test.
