2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LS66 DWU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of annual passes. The most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 69,480 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a technical failure just one day prior at 69,472 miles. This immediate rectification suggests a minor compliance issue, such as a blown bulb or a minor adjustment, which was corrected instantly to satisfy the tester rather than representing a significant mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 47,049 miles and June 2025 at 69,480 miles, the car covered 22,431 miles, indicating a steady and low-usage profile. This low mileage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples, though the lack of gaps in mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods which might cause seal-related degradation. While the MOT record shows no recurring advisories regarding structural corrosion or mechanical components, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common Qashqai wear points. Given the age of the vehicle, check the control arm bushes and coil springs for cracking, as rubber components age regardless of low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or thinning, as low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from surface rust if not driven frequently. The clean history indicates a well-maintained example that has avoided major structural failures.
