2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FH66 BGO

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 68,750 miles. The record shows zero defects across all inspections, indicating a vehicle that has consistently met structural and mechanical standards without requiring remedial work. A dual entry appears on the 2026 date, showing both a failure and a pass at the identical mileage, which typically indicates an initial test anomaly or administrative re-submission rather than a mechanical fault, given the absence of recorded defects on both entries. The maintenance trajectory remains firmly stable, reflecting diligent ownership and a lack of recurring mechanical issues. Accumulating 68,750 miles over a decade equates to roughly 6,875 miles annually, a figure that sits comfortably within typical usage parameters for this model. The mileage progression reveals steady, incremental gains rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage surges. Between the October 2022 test at 47,816 miles and the February 2024 test at 57,005 miles, the vehicle covered 9,189 miles over sixteen months. The subsequent year saw a slightly reduced accumulation of 6,666 miles, bringing the total to 63,671 miles by February 2025. The final jump to 68,750 miles by February 2026 represents 5,079 miles over twelve months, suggesting a recent reduction in daily usage or a shift toward shorter, local journeys. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of age-related components that do not always trigger immediate test failures. Buyers should closely examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or corrosion, typical issues on a decade-old crossover. The brake discs and calipers require scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, even though no braking defects were flagged. Underbody and wheel arch corrosion must be checked, as structural rust can develop quietly between annual tests. Tyre condition and age warrant attention too; a vehicle covering lower annual mileages often retains tyres past their safe lifespan due to rubber degradation rather than tread wear. The pristine paperwork suggests an owner who maintained the vehicle to a high standard, but a hands-on assessment will confirm whether that care extends to the unseen mechanicals.
