2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · ND16 OFS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 01 September 2025 at 62,368 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just two days prior at 62,324 miles, though the record does not specify the mechanical reason for that failure. The immediate rectification of the issue suggests the owner was willing to address compliance faults quickly before the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Data shows a gap of 12,488 miles covered between April 2023 (43,680 miles) and September 2024 (56,168 miles), followed by roughly 6,200 miles in the following year. This steady usage suggests the car has been used regularly rather than suffering from long periods of inactivity, which generally benefits the rubber components and prevents the brake system from seizing due to lack of use. While the MOT history is remarkably clean of recurring advisories, the buyer should investigate the specific causes of the failures in August 2024 and August 2025. Since no defects were listed on the pass certificates, these likely involved minor consumable items such as blown bulbs, wiper blade wear, or slight emission adjustments. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these are common points of wear on Qashqais of this mileage bracket. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or surface corrosion is also advisable to ensure the system remains as reliable as the digital record suggests.
