2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · PJ16 YPR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive maintenance regarding consumable components. In the most recent test on 29 November 2025 at 116,933 miles, the car passed despite defects involving an offside front inner tyre worn to the legal limit and both nearside and offside front brake discs being pitted and scored. While these issues did not uncommon a failure, they indicate that components are now reaching the end of their operational life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded data between April 2023 (83,741 miles) and April 2024 (102,082 miles), during which the vehicle covered nearly 18,000 miles in a single year. Since that period, usage has stabilized at roughly 14,000 miles annually until the 2025 test, suggesting a period of high-frequency use that typically places increased stress on the suspension, drivetrain, and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front wiring assembly, as a missing road wheel fixing caused a failure in April 2024, indicating potential oversight in basic maintenance. Given the pitting and scoring on the front brake discs noted in 2025, a physical check of the pad thickness and caliper condition is essential to ensure the system is not seizing. Furthermore, the high mileage necessitates an evaluation of the suspension bushes and shock artwork for fluid leaks or uneven tyre wear, as the previous advisory regarding edge wear on the front tyre may indicate alignment issues or worn components.
