2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FX16 NUK

The 6 May 2026 MOT at 92,661 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. Although the vehicle has shown recurring suspension dust‑cover deterioration since 2025, the latest test indicates no new mechanical failures, suggesting the trend is stable rather than worsening. Mileage has risen from 26,913 miles in April 2019 to 92,661 miles in May 2026, an average of roughly 8,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old model and shows a steady, uninterrupted increase without any long periods of inactivity. Recurring advisories include severe deterioration of the front lower suspension arm ball‑joint dust covers, noted in the 2025 and 2026 tests, and repeated tyre wear warnings on both front and rear positions from 2024 onward, indicating that consumable items have been addressed but the suspension component remains a potential weak point. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front lower suspension arm ball joints and their dust covers for cracks or missing seals, test the rear brakes for binding or uneven pad wear, examine tyre tread depth and edge wear, and look for any structural rust on the chassis, suspension mounting points and exhaust system, as these areas have shown the most consistent signs of wear in the record.
