2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FP16 OUJ

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT certificate issued on 26 September 2025 at 50,954 miles, indicating a stable and positive maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the most recent test suggests that the previous owner addressed prior mechanical concerns effectively. The overall condition appears consistent with a well-maintained vehicle that has passed its last three inspections with a clean bill of health. Annual mileage accumulation remains consistently low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year over the last decade. The data shows a steady, predictable usage pattern with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed wear. The incremental mileage increases between the 2021 test at 42,466 miles and the current reading confirm that the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended durations, which typically helps mitigate issues like seized brakes or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components, specifically the front arm ball joints. The 2024 test identified severely deteriorated dust covers on both the nearside and offside, which can lead to premature joint failure if left unaddressed. While the most recent test shows these were cleared, verify that the repair involved a high-quality replacement rather than a superficial fix. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframe or chassis rails, as these are common areas for the Qashqai platform, and confirm the brake discs show even wear patterns to match the current clean MOT status.
