2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FP66 XWC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 May 2025 at 43,713 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all legal road safety standards. This follows a clean pass in April 2023, suggesting that the mechanical condition has remained consistent over time without recurring failures or escalating issues. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,371 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2024, the car covered 6,543 miles, while the subsequent year saw an increase of 4,083 miles. Although there was a recorded failure on 13 May 2024 at 39,669 miles, the issue was clearly rectified as it passed on the same day. This low usage often implies less wear on the engine and gearbox, though it can sometimes lead to dry seals or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean recent records, a buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on the condition of rubber components and fluid integrity. Low-mileage cars often suffer from perished bushes or tyres that crack due to age rather than tread wear. Check the brake discs for pitting and the calipers for binding, as infrequent use can cause these components to seize. Since the MOT history shows no structural advisories for corrosion, the chassis appears sound, but a visual check of the underbody for surface rust remains a standard professional precaution for a vehicle of this age.
