2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PJ07 RYL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test on 24 November 2025 at 98,256 miles passed with no defects recorded. This follows a curious failure entry just three days prior on 21 November 2025 at 98,251 miles which also listed no defects, likely suggesting either an administrative error or a minor sensor fault that was rectified immediately before the retest. Neither indicates a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical UK usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 59,402 miles and October 2024 at 84,533 miles, the car covered roughly 25,000 miles, showing a steady usage trend. The jump to nearly 98,000 miles by the late 2025 test indicates the vehicle is still in active use, which justifies the standard wear on components that do not appear during MOT intervals. While the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear items common to this mileage bracket. At nearly 99,000 miles, inspect the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue as these often degrade without triggering a failure. Check the brake discs for significant pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, as the MOT only tests for efficiency rather than the overall thickness of the components.
