2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · KS65 XGV

The Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status, culminating in a clean pass on 16 February 2026 at 106,213 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is firmly stable; despite two historical failed tests in May 2024 and March 2025, the absence of recorded defects on those occasions suggests administrative anomalies or aborted tests rather than unresolved mechanical faults. The vehicle has consistently passed its subsequent inspections without issue, indicating diligent upkeep and the rectification of any minor pre-test concerns. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,621 miles annually. Between the May 2024 test at 85,334 miles and the March 2025 test at 99,248 miles, the car covered 13,914 miles over a ten-month period, reflecting a slightly higher-than-average running pace. From March 2025 to the most recent February 2026 test, the mileage increased by only 6,965 miles across eleven months, suggesting a recent reduction in daily usage or a period of lighter commuting. The record is notably clean, showing no sudden, inexplicable spikes or severe gaps that would indicate long-term standing or clocking discrepancies. Because the official record contains no recurring mechanical advisories or flagged defects, a buyer must rely on a physical assessment of the typical wear components for this platform. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, alongside checking the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, as these are common failure points on the Qashqai. The exhaust system and catalytic converter require a thorough visual check for corrosion and leaks, particularly given the vehicle's age. A physical inspection of the underbody and wheel arches is also prudent to verify the structural integrity and rule out any corrosion that might not have been severe enough to warrant a formal advisory in previous years.
