2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · HT16 AEP

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on January 2026 at 95,473 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This streak indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to meet regulatory standards without encountering the mechanical or structural failures that typically appear in cars of this age. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and October 2024, the car covered 36,248 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The more recent interval between October 2024 and January 2026 saw an additional 5,937 miles, which aligns with the established average. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or brake fluid corrosion. Since the record shows no recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust corrosion, a buyer should focus on standard wear items that an MOT does not capture. At over 95,000 miles, the inspection should verify the condition of the shock absorbers and the integrity of the rubber arm bushings, as these often reach the end of their life at this mileage. Additionally, checking for the timing belt and water pump service history is critical, as these components typically require replacement around this interval to prevent catastrophic engine failure.
