2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · HT16 UVD

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 28 August 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without major failures over the last five years. However, there is a recurring pattern regarding the condition of the front tyres, which suggests that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, certain consumable items are being monitored rather than proactively replaced. With a recorded mileage of 64,965 miles over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,500 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a family crossover of this age. This level of mileage implies that the drivetrain and engine components have not been excessively stressed, though it is sufficient for standard wear-and-tear items, such as suspension components and brake linings, to be approaching the end of their primary service life. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front tyres, as advisories for edge wear appeared in both 2021 and 2025. This recurring issue often indicates an alignment problem or incorrect wheel tracking, which can lead to premature tyre degradation. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal road noise or vibrations through the steering wheel. Visually inspect the tread for uneven wear patterns, such as feathering, and verify if the current tyres are of a reputable brand or budget replacements. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads should be investigated to confirm they have since been replaced. During the inspection, check for brake disc corrosion and ensure there is no shuddering under braking. Given the vehicle's age, it is also essential to examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or cracking. Finally, verify the service history to ensure that oil changes and fluid flushes have been performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage, as calendar-based degradation can affect the longevity of the engine and braking system.
