Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Focus your attention on the service history to confirm that oil and filter changes were carried out at regular intervals, as low-mileage vehicles can still require timed maintenance. Given the 2023 MOT advisory regarding perishing rear tyres, check the date codes on all current tyres to ensure they haven't aged beyond their safe limit, as rubber degrades even when not in use.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and any gaps in the service record. Ensure the 1.2L petrol engine starts and idles smoothly, and check for any evidence of oil leaks around the engine bay.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in a crossover body, though costs will vary based on annual mileage. You should expect moderate fuel expenditure and a mid-range insurance group typical for this class of vehicle.
Annual costs will include the standard VED road tax for a 2016 petrol model and routine servicing. Maintenance costs are generally predictable for this model, though tyre replacements should be budgeted for if the rubber is aging.
Carefully inspect all four tyres for signs of cracking or perishing, specifically referencing the January 2023 MOT advisories for the nearside and offside rear tyres. Check the headlamps and ball joints for wear or damage, as these are identified as top failure reasons for the Qashqai in aggregate MOT data.
Verify that the windscreen is clear of any obstructions that could affect the driver's view, recalling the 2024 MOT failure caused by a phone holder. Finally, check the general condition of the black paintwork for any age-related wear.
This black 2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L petrol has recorded 40,633 miles as of November 2025, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history shows a consistent pass rate, with the only failure being a non-mechanical issue regarding a phone holder obstructing the driver's view. The vehicle's record suggests a low-use history with few recorded defects.
The Qashqai has an average MOT pass rate of 79.3% across a sample of 575,047 vehicles.
