2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · P55 LAF

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent test on 30 January 2026 resulting in a pass. While the record shows a recurring pattern of a fail followed immediately by a pass on the same day during the 2025 and 2026 inspections, these appear to be administrative anomalies rather than mechanical failures, as no specific defects were recorded by the testing stations. The overall maintenance trend is stable, indicating that the vehicle has been consistently presented for testing and successfully cleared of any potential issues. Accumulating 102,661 miles over a ten-year period averages out to approximately 10,266 miles per year, which is entirely consistent with typical UK usage patterns. The steady progression of mileage suggests the vehicle has been in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber seals. The lack of recurring advisories or failure items in the MOT history points to a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state by its previous keepers. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that are not always captured by the MOT pass criteria. Given the mileage, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these components often show signs of fatigue at this stage of the vehicle's life. Check the brake discs for excessive pitting or uneven wear patterns that might not trigger a failure but could impact braking performance. Finally, inspect the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion, particularly around the subframe and exhaust mounting points, to ensure the structural integrity remains as solid as the test record suggests.
