Our Verdict
A reasonable option for those seeking a
Focus on the service history for the 1.5L diesel engine to ensure regular oil changes and maintenance have been performed. Given the recent MOT advisory, you should check if the nearside front suspension arm pin or bush has been replaced since March 2026; if not, this represents a clear point for price negotiation.
Verify the current condition of all tyres. The vehicle has a pattern of tyre-related issues, including a failure in 2023 for an exposed sidewall and a 2024 advisory for a worn offside front tyre. Ensure the current set has plenty of tread and no sidewall damage.
The 1.5L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, which helps keep fuel costs down for those doing higher annual mileages. Insurance groups for the Qashqai are generally moderate, though this will vary based on the specific trim level of this blue model.
Maintenance costs are typical for a ten-year-old crossover, but the emergence of suspension wear suggests that chassis components may start requiring replacement. Expect annual costs to include standard servicing, diesel fuel, and the current road tax band for a 2016 diesel.
Prioritise an inspection of the nearside front suspension arm, as the March 2026 MOT specifically flagged a worn pin or bush. While not yet a failure, it is a known wear point that will eventually require a workshop visit.
Check the headlamps and brake pads carefully during your viewing, as aggregate data for over 570,000 Qashqais identifies these as top failure reasons. Finally, examine the tyres for uneven wear, referencing the 2024 advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn on the edge.
This blue 2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5 Diesel has a recorded mileage of 87,592 miles. Its MOT history shows five tests, with only one failure in 2023 caused by a tyre issue. The most recent test in March 2026 indicates a worn nearside front suspension bush, which is a key point for inspection.
The Qashqai shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.5% across a large dataset of 574,821 vehicles.
