2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FH16 KVD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as the March 2026 MOT at 104,735 miles passed with all four tyres wearing but no defects recorded. The record shows a clear improvement after the rear brake pad failure in March 2024, with subsequent tests at 86,984, 86,998, 95,832 and 104,735 miles all passing without defects. Mileage has risen steadily from 25,337 miles in June 2018 to 104,735 miles in March 2026, a gain of roughly 79,400 miles over eight years, or about 9,900 miles per year, which aligns with the typical 10,474 miles per year for a ten‑year‑old Qashqai. The identical 2024‑03‑06 test, first failing on rear brake pad thickness then passing after repair, indicates a prompt corrective action rather than prolonged neglect. No long periods of zero mileage are evident; each annual test reflects continued use. A buyer should therefore inspect the current thickness of the rear brake pads, verify that the rear calipers move freely and that the brake discs show no deep scoring or corrosion, check tyre tread depth and wear pattern, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for play or damage, and confirm that the child seat installed in March 2023 does not impede adult belt access. Overall, the maintenance history demonstrates responsive repairs and a stable trend, making the Qashqai a reasonable prospect provided the in‑person inspection confirms the condition of the brakes, suspension, tyres and structural components.
