2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · MR57 SAC

This Nissan Qashqai’s most recent MOT test, conducted just over a year ago on 16 June 2025, confirms it passed without any defects or advisories recorded. The vehicle’s history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with no recurring faults, though the double entry at 64,532 and 64,533 miles in June 2025 suggests a brief delay in scheduling—likely due to administrative oversight rather than mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or defects across all five tests indicates the tester did not identify any critical failures in brakes, suspension, emissions, or structural integrity during these inspections. The recorded mileage of 64,533 miles over a decade aligns with typical usage for this model, averaging around 6,450 miles annually. There are no unusually large gaps between tests, though the 2023 failure at 52,463 miles—just 183 miles before the subsequent pass—implies either a rapid resolution of a minor issue or a retest following a temporary hold. The lack of advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear or neglect, but the mileage pattern does not reveal extended periods of inactivity or heavy use beyond standard expectations. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components such as the suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly at the rear where binding calipers or uneven wear could develop over time. The brakes, though not flagged, warrant close examination for corrosion on the discs or uneven pad thickness, especially if the vehicle has seen varied driving conditions. Structural integrity should be checked for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are prone to rust in older models. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions tests did not reveal any failures, but hidden damage could affect performance.
