2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FH16 FKT

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable mechanical trend, demonstrated by its most recent MOT pass on 19 January 2026 at 86,618 miles. The record shows no defects recorded at the time of passing, indicating the vehicle met minimum roadworthiness standards during that inspection. However, the presence of a failed test on the exact same day and mileage, also noting no defects, is a clear data anomaly within the DVSA system. This likely represents a clerical error or an aborted test rather than a genuine mechanical failure, as a fail cannot legally occur without a recorded defect. The maintenance trajectory remains stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues appearing across the documented history. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between 21 January 2024 at 73,665 miles and 25 January 2025 at 80,123 miles, the Qashqai covered 6,458 miles. The subsequent year, from 25 January 2025 at 80,123 miles to 19 January 2026 at 86,618 miles, saw an identical accumulation of 6,495 miles. This consistent annual mileage of roughly 6,500 miles suggests regular, steady use rather than prolonged standing or excessively harsh driving. The data is sparse but clean, lacking any significant gaps in testing or sudden, unexplained jumps in odometer readings. Despite the clean MOT record, the identical mileage recorded for both the pass and fail entries on consecutive tests warrants scrutiny of the vehicle's true service history. A buyer should verify the physical condition of consumables that naturally degrade over 86,618 miles, regardless of the clean test results. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping, and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as these components often degrade invisibly between annual tests. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and ensure the tyre tread depths meet legal limits, checking for uneven wear patterns that might indicate misalignment. Given the anomalous test entries, confirming the vehicle's structural integrity and rust-free underbody remains essential before purchase.
