2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · MM16 ACJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-28 at 54,091 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, a failed test on the same date at 54,086 miles—just 5 miles earlier—shows inconsistency, though no specific issues were logged. This suggests either a data entry error or a procedural anomaly, but the absence of recorded defects in both tests implies no critical mechanical failures. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no escalating issues across the five consecutive annual tests since 2022. The vehicle’s mileage of 54,091 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 5,409 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This low mileage may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion or component degradation despite minimal wear. Notably, the 2024 test at 51,700 miles and 2023 test at 49,259 miles both passed without defects, confirming consistent upkeep. However, the sparse data between 2022 and 2024—spanning 4,661 miles—raises questions about potential gaps in maintenance, though no adverse trends are evident. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual deterioration. Check brake components, including discs and calipers, for uneven wear or corrosion, which may stem from infrequent use. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly around the chassis and body seams, to rule out hidden rust. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the vehicle’s low-mileage profile necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical and corrosion-free condition.
