2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · KY16 FBG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 100,949 miles identified thinning rear brake pads, the car passed without major failures. This follows a period of clean records in late 2024 and 2022, suggesting the mechanical condition was stable but is now requiring attention as the mileage climbs. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2024 and December 2024, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in eleven months. Conversely, the gap between the February 2022 and January 2023 tests shows a similar interval of 12,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use which typically places predictable stress on components like suspension components and braking systems. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front-end suspension and alignment. The 2023 advisory at 72,065 miles flagged a nearside front tyre worn on the edge, which often indicates tracking issues or worn ball joints and bushes. Given the recent report of thin rear pads, the entire braking system should be checked for scored discs or uneven wear to ensure the lack of recent maintenance has not damaged the hardware. The structural integrity remains unnoted in the MOT history, but a standard check for underbody corrosion is always advisable for a Qashqai of this age.
