2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FP16 YLX

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 104,646 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual passes in March 2025 and March 2024 also showed clean sheets. The only blemishes are two failed tests logged days before the eventual passes in early 2024 and 2025, both at 87,839 and 96,202 miles respectively, yet the records list no defects against those failures. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, since the car then passed without remedy. Mileage has accumulated in a typical band for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 87,915 miles in March 2024, 96,202 miles in March 2025, and 104,646 miles in March 2026, equating to roughly 8,300 to 8,700 miles per year across those intervals, slightly under the implied 10,465 annual average. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear between tests. The sparse history with only five entries means we cannot observe consumable replacement cycles in detail, but the absence of advisories across all listed passes indicates previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard without flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the vehicle's age and the unexplained fail logs in March 2024 and March 2025. Though no defects were recorded, a fail with zero noted items warrants verification that the correct test procedure was followed and the car was not presented with a latent issue such as a binding caliper or worn coil spring missed by the tester. Check suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions in person before purchase. The clean MOT trail offers reasonable assurance, but the twin fail-pass pairs so close in date imply the prior keeper may have used marginal garages; confirm service history to validate drivetrain care across the 104,646 miles.
