2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · KX16 OCS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile having passed its most recent MOT test on 5 March 2026 at 113,030 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes, the lack of specific recorded defect descriptions on the failure reports suggests either administrative errors or minor consumable issues that were rectified prior to the re-test. The current string of data indicates that the vehicle meets the minimum legal road safety standards without evidence of recurring mechanical or structural degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. Between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, the car covered 9,240 miles, followed by another 12,408 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady rate suggests regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber seals, suspension components, and the braking system to prevent premature seizing. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the digital history, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear areas common to the Qashqai at this mileage. The buyer should verify the condition of the front control arm bushes and shock dampers, as these often degrade after the 100,000-mile mark. Checking the brake discs for excessive pitting or uneven caliper binding is also prudent, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than the remaining life of the components.
