2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FD16 MKM

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 31 January 2026 at 74,810 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry, sitting just under five months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the vehicle's roadworthiness certification is current and fresh. The broader record shows consistent passes across multiple cycles, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults have required attention. The mileage accumulation is steady and entirely typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the August 2024 test at 70,359 miles and the January 2026 test at 74,810 miles, the car covered 4,451 miles over roughly 17 months, which aligns with the lifetime average of approximately 7,481 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of disuse or clocking concerns. The record is clean and well-documented, with no failed tests apart from a single entry on 28 June 2023 at 60,117 miles that shows a fail status but no defects listed, which likely reflects an administrative or procedural retest rather than a genuine mechanical failure. Despite the unblemished MOT history, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The Qashqai's age and mileage mean that consumable components such as tyres, brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes may be approaching replacement intervals even if they have not yet triggered a defect. Check the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion, inspect the underside for any signs of structural rust, and verify that all suspension components remain free from excessive play or deterioration. A short road test will confirm whether the brakes pull evenly, the gearbox shifts smoothly, and there are no unusual drivetrain vibrations that a static inspection might miss.
