2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · JO03 DYB

The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 104,346 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status. Maintenance trend reads stable across the recorded history. The sole anomaly occurred on 10 December 2024 at 90,110 miles when the tester issued a fail yet logged no defects; a subsequent pass on 16 December 2024 at 90,123 miles closed the matter without advisory. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old 2016 Qashqai. The odometer stood at 71,973 miles for the 24 August 2022 test and rose to 78,184 miles by 23 August 2023, a low annual gain of 6,211 miles. A sixteen-month gap preceded the December 2024 tests, adding roughly 11,900 miles to 90,110. The final recorded year contributed 14,223 miles to the December 2025 figure. The DVSA file is sparse, offering only five entries, but each pass beyond the unexplained failure carries zero advisories on emissions, brakes, or suspension. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of components that a defect-free MOT does not expose. Examine front suspension bushes and rear coil springs for fatigue, measure brake disc thickness and check for binding calipers, and probe sills and subframes for corrosion that could threaten structural integrity. The clean record implies previous owners met minimum statutory testing but gives no proof of proactive upkeep such as fluid changes or worn consumable replacement ahead of failure.
