2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · JU66 BES

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of emerging wear after several years of clean inspections. The latest test in February 2026 at 88,234 miles saw the car pass despite defects regarding the front brake disc and a damaged mirror. This represents a shift from the pristine records seen between 2022 and 2024, indicating that components are now reaching their service life limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between January 2022 and February 2026, the car covered 28,005 miles, showing a steady usage profile without significant gaps or long periods of standing. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used for routine commuting, which generally prevents the types of issues associated with stationary vehicles, though the 88,000-mile mark is a common threshold for age-related wear on rubber bushings and mechanical components. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the front suspension, as the tester flagged play in the offside suspension arm ball joint in February 2025 at 83,784 miles. The subsequent report of pitted and scored front brake discs in February 2026 suggests the braking system requires immediate attention to ensure optimal stopping performance. The recurring damage to the offside mirror across two consecutive tests is a minor cosmetic concern that does not impact mechanical safety but reflects a lack of attention to minor external defects by previous owners.
