2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PX16 UST

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile according to the official MOT records. The most recent test on 7 May 2025 at 180,007 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle has maintained a clean compliance record for the last five years of its documented history, showing no recurring issues with emissions, lighting, or structural integrity. The mileage accumulation is significant, averaging approximately 18,000 miles per year over the recorded period. The data shows a steady increase from 76,190 miles in May 2021 to 180,007 miles in May 2025. This high annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen consistent, heavy usage rather than sitting idle. While the lack of failures is positive, the high odometer reading implies substantial wear on mechanical components that are not always captured during a standard MOT inspection. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of high-wear items that typically degrade under heavy usage. Focus specifically on the suspension system, including shock absorbers, coil springs, and various bushes, as these often show fatigue at this mileage. The braking system should be checked for uneven disc wear or binding calipers, and the underside should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and exhaust system. Given the high mileage, a detailed service history check is essential to confirm that oil changes and drivetrain maintenance have been performed regularly. While the MOT history is clean, it does not account for the mechanical condition of the engine, gearbox, or clutch. Prioritising a professional inspection of the turbocharger and timing components would be prudent given the vehicle's age and high-frequency road use.
