2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FP16 PZC

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 11 April 2026 at 100,208 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle's recent history demonstrates consistent upkeep, passing every MOT since 2023 without any advisories or failures. A minor anomaly appears in the record on 9 April 2026, where the vehicle failed at 100,129 miles despite no defects being listed, likely indicating an aborted test or administrative issue, as it passed cleanly just two days later. This pattern suggests a diligent owner who maintains the vehicle to a high standard. The mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 10,000 miles annually overall. Between the March 2023 test at 49,374 miles and the March 2024 test at 59,543 miles, the vehicle covered 10,169 miles. Usage accelerated notably over the following year, covering 16,413 miles to reach 75,956 miles by April 2025. The most recent twelve-month period shows an even sharper increase, accumulating 24,252 miles to reach the current 100,208-mile reading in April 2026. This accelerating wear pattern implies the vehicle has seen heavier use recently, placing greater demand on consumables and mechanical components. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle approaching six figures. Buyers should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as high-mileage Qashqais frequently suffer from premature wear that might not always trigger an MOT failure. Brake disc thickness and pad life require verification, alongside a thorough check of the exhaust system for corrosion. The underbody and structural mounts demand close scrutiny for rust, particularly around the rear wheel arches and sills, which are common corrosion points on this model.
