2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · RG65 BEX

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on September 15, 2025 at 47,813 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues identified by the tester, as the vehicle has since maintained a clean record without advisories for the last two inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,781 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 34,952 miles and September 2024 at 41,644 miles, the car covered 6,692 miles, indicating consistent but low-intensity usage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and tyres, or result in corrosion and seized brake calipers due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age rather than just distance traveled. Although the MOT history shows no recurring structural integrity failures or mechanical faults, the tester should check for surface rust on the brake discs and the condition of the exhaust system. Given the low usage, verify the age of the tyres for cracking and ensure the suspension components have not perished, as these elements often fail on time on low-mileage vehicles before they wear out through friction.
