2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PL65 CLV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on March 9, 2026 at 82,213 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed inspections without recorded defects over the last three years. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of subsequent advisory notes suggests that any initial minor issues identified were rectified immediately prior to the retests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 68,759 miles and the March 2025 test at 75,517 miles, the car covered 6,758 miles. The subsequent interval saw another 6,696 miles covered before the 2026 test. This regularity suggests consistent use rather than neglect, which is positives for preventing the degradation of components associated with long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion issues, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Qashqai of this age. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these often degrade around the 80,000-mile mark. The brake discs should be examined for uneven wear or thinning, though the MOT record does not flag any binding calipers or worn pads. Checking the underside for surface rust is also standard practice to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean digital history.
