2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LL16 LUY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test in February 2026 at 94,704 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This performance follows a three-year trend of successful inspections without any advisory notices, suggesting that the current owner is likely maintaining the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure or safety compliance issues. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 1,009 miles, showing a period of lower usage compared to the previous interval of 1,794 miles recorded between 2023 and 2024. This steady pattern indicates regular use rather than erratic bursts of driving, which typically suggests that wear on the drivetrain and suspension components is distributed within expected parameters for a Qashqai of this age. While the recent records are clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common Qashqai failure points that approach the 95,000-mile threshold. Focus on the front suspension components, specifically the wish arm bushes and ball joints, which often perish at this mileage despite passing an MOT. Check the brake discs for signs of uneven wear or thinning, as the MOT only tests for braking efficiency and not the remaining thickness of the material. The single failure in February 2023 followed by an immediate pass on the same day suggests a minor defect that was caught and rectified quickly, but the structural integrity of the chassis for surface corrosion remains a standard requirement for verification.
