2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · LS66 FUB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 39,458 miles. The maintenance trend has improved significantly following a mechanical failure in 2023. The car has since undergone two consecutive inspections without any recorded defects, suggesting that previous issues were addressed and resolved effectively. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,946 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between September 2022 and October 2023, where the car covered only 4,926 miles in thirteen months. More recent usage remains consistent, with roughly 8,100 miles covered over the last three years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid-related issues. The failure on 13 October 2023 at 31,261 miles highlighted a critical neglect point where all four brake pads had reached their wear indicators or the minimum thickness threshold. While this was rectified before the retest, a buyer should verify the current condition of the brake discs to ensure they have not scored or pitted due to infrequent use. Given the low annual mileage, an inspection should also focus on the suspension bushes and tyres for signs of cracking, as these components age through time rather than just through distance.
