2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LS66 KYE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing component wear. The most recent test in February 2026 at 72,452 miles identified front brake discs as worn, pitted or scored. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates that the braking system is reaching its functional limit. This follows a period of relatively clean records in 2024 and 2025, suggesting the vehicle has remained in a stable condition until more recent mechanical degradation appeared. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between January 2023 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 10,000 miles, representing a steady usage rate. However, a notable gap exists between the February 2024 failure and the February 2025 pass, where only 3,565 miles were recorded. This low annual mileage generally benefits the structural integrity and drivetrain, but it can sometimes lead to dry-rott rubber components or brake corrosion over time. A physical inspection should focus on the front axle assembly due to the pitting noted on the discs in the 2026 test. The tester also flagged front tyres wearing slightly at the edges, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The previous failure in early 2024 related to a cut nearside rear tyre and defective wiper blades shows that basic consumable maintenance was occasionally neglected by the previous owner. A buyer should verify the current state of all four tyres and ensure the washer system has been properly serviced to avoid recurring visibility issues.
