2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · HT16 AEA

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents a clean and stable roadworthiness status. In the October 2025 test at 56,566 miles the examiner recorded no defects, continuing an unbroken pass sequence. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring advisories across five consecutive annual tests, indicating consistent basic upkeep by prior keepers. Mileage sits low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 32,878 miles in November 2021, rising to 40,431 by December 2022, 45,784 by November 2023, 51,380 by October 2024, and 56,566 by October 2025. Annual accumulation averaged roughly 5,600 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. Such light use often means less drivetrain fatigue but can allow corrosion or perished rubber to develop unnoticed during standing periods. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the vehicle's age and low yearly use. The MOT history flags no structural rust, binding brakes, or exhaust emission failures, yet the absence of advisories does not exempt the chassis from age-related degradation. Prior owners clearly met statutory test requirements without deferring obvious consumable wear. The clean record implies disciplined garage servicing rather than deferred rectification. Verify service invoices and inspect underbody condition before purchase to confirm the paper record matches mechanical reality.
