2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · GF66 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 December 2025 with 72,261 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a minor rectification that did not result in mechanical failure. Since November 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any flagged advisories, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate profile, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. Between November 2022 at 45,665 miles and December 2024 at 62,607 miles, the vehicle covered 16,942 miles. The subsequent interval saw another 9,654 miles covered leading up to the December 2025 test. This low annual mileage reduces stress on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to seals degrading if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for the Qashqai that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Check the condition of the front control arm bushes and rear coil springs, as these often perish with age regardless of mileage. You should also inspect the brake discs for pitting or thinning, as low-use vehicles can suffer from surface corrosion on the braking hardware. Examine the underside for early signs of corrosion on theសារ members to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle enters its second decade of service.
