2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · PX66 XOK

The Nissan Qashqai presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 75,630 miles showing no defects or advisories. This consistency extends back through the full record, with every test—including those in 2024 (112,155 miles) , 2023 (66,046 miles) , and earlier—resulting in a pass without any major mechanical concerns. The absence of recurring advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no signs of neglect or escalating wear in critical areas. While the lack of detailed test reports means minor consumables (such as tyres or wiper blades) cannot be ruled out, the DVSA’s passing verdicts indicate no structural, suspension, or braking issues were present at the time of testing. The mileage pattern reveals an unusual discrepancy, with the odometer dropping from 112,155 miles in October 2024 to 75,630 miles in October 2025 —a reduction of 36,525 miles in just 12 months. This suggests either a significant odometer rollback or an error in recording, as the vehicle’s age and typical usage would not justify such a drastic decline. Prior to this, the mileage increased steadily but at a slower rate: from 29,305 miles in November 2021 to 45,602 miles in November 2022 , then to 66,046 miles in October 2023 , indicating roughly 16,000–17,000 miles per year —well within expected ranges for a 10-year-old vehicle. The sudden drop in 2025 is the only red flag in this history and warrants immediate clarification from the seller. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise verifying the odometer accuracy, as the mileage inconsistency raises serious questions about the vehicle’s true usage. Beyond that, a thorough inspection should focus on suspension components —such as bushings, coil springs, and ball joints—given their wear potential over time, even if not flagged in tests. Brake system integrity should also be checked, particularly the condition of discs, pads, and calipers, as binding or uneven wear can develop between MOTs. While the Qashqai’s body structure appears sound based on these records, a close examination of underbody corrosion , especially around wheel arches and exhaust mounts, is advisable, as rust can compromise structural integrity without always being detected in routine tests. Finally, exhaust emissions and fluid leaks (brake, coolant, oil) should be inspected, as these are not always caught in standard MOT checks but can indicate deeper mechanical issues.
