2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · GU66 FTD

This 2016 Nissan Qashqai has a relatively clean MOT history, but the most recent inspection shows a decline in maintenance standards. While the vehicle passed its MOT in August 2025, it failed to maintain the clean record seen in 2023 and 2024, with both front tyres flagged as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the outer edges. The mechanical pattern suggests a recurring issue with braking components and tyre wear. We saw rear brake pads and discs flagged as thin, pitted, or scored in 2021 and 2022. While these appear to have been addressed given the clean 2023 and 2024 results, the recent tyre defects indicate that the vehicle's condition is currently trending towards worsening in terms of consumable maintenance. At approximately 6,700 miles per year, the mileage is typical for a ten-year-old car. This level of usage suggests the vehicle hasn't been excessively driven, but it also means components like tyres and brakes are subject to age-related degradation and standard wear rather than heavy motorway use. Because the most recent MOT highlighted uneven tyre wear on the outer edges, there is a risk of underlying suspension or alignment issues. You must inspect the front suspension components, check the wheel alignment, and ensure the tyres have plenty of tread remaining across the entire width of the tyre.
