2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · GD16 AET

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 26 March 2026 at 50,108 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the same day. This pattern suggests that any mechanical issues identified during the initial inspection were immediately rectified to achieve a pass. The history shows no recurring structural or persistent mechanical failures over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Data shows a progression from 39,115 miles in March 2024 to 44,766 miles in March 2025, and finally 50,108 miles in March 2026. This steady, low annual accumulation indicates light use which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, low-mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. While the MOT record is clean of historical advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components prone to low-mileage neglect. Check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent calipers from clearing oxidation. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishing, which occurs with age regardless of the distance driven. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the condition of the tyres for dry rot and ensure all fluid levels are not contaminated.
