2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PJ16 ABF

This Nissan Qashqai presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 8 May 2025 at 50,486 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single recorded failure or advisory since June 2021. The vehicle has covered approximately 5,049 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the UK average for a ten-year-old car. Mileage accumulation has remained steady and predictable, growing from 32,065 miles in June 2021 to 50,486 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of heavy commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. The absence of any flagged issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over five years of testing is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is clean, low-mileage cars often suffer from dormant issues. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber seals, tyre flat-spotting, and brake caliper seizure caused by inactivity. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed regardless of the low annual mileage. The MOT record confirms the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, but it does not replace a full mechanical service check for drivetrain health and fluid degradation.
