2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · EG65 AAU

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection on 24 August 2023 at 62,258 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have successfully maintained the vehicle to meet minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical or structural failures during the testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use expectations for a ten-year-old vehicle, approximately 6,200 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between November 2020 at 41,409 miles and May 2022 at 61,435 miles, where the car covered over 20,000 miles in just seventeen months. Following this peak period, usage dropped significantly, with only 823 miles recorded in the following year. The low overall mileage suggests that wear on the drivetrain and suspension components should be lower than average compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical advisories, a buyer should still focus on components prone to age-related degradation despite low mileage. Inspect the rubber elements, such as suspension bushes and tyre boots, which may perish or crack from long periods of standing rather than physical wear. Check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or thin pad pads that are prone to surface rust if not used frequently.
