2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · HT16 AEE

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 56,765 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual examination from 17 June 2021 through to 2025 shows a clean pass with no advisories raised, indicating the vehicle has not entered a pattern of worsening mechanical condition or recurring faults. The recorded mileage sits at 56,765 miles against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,676 miles per year, which is low for the age. The test history supports light use: the June 2021 test logged 41,057 miles, rising to 45,083 in June 2022, 49,216 in June 2023, 53,301 in June 2024, and 56,765 in June 2025. Annual increments stay between 3,200 and 4,400 miles with no gaps or sudden accumulation, and the DVSA data carries no failed tests or flagged items across the five-year span. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished record. Low mileage combined with the absence of advisories means wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes may simply be undocumented rather than absent. Standing periods typical of low-use vehicles can accelerate perishing of rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members even when the tester recorded nothing. Focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity, brake caliper operation for any binding after idle spells, and the condition of coil springs and exhaust emissions hardware. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic statutory compliance, but it offers no substitute for physical verification of drivetrain and chassis health at this mileage.
