2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · RJ16 AEA

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents a clean roadworthiness record with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent passed MOT on 15 July 2025 at 62,313 miles showing no defects. The test history carries one anomaly: on the same date and mileage the vehicle first failed, yet the DVSA entry records no defects, implying an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior four years the car passed every test with zero advisories, indicating no escalating wear or recurring defects from the tester. Mileage sat at 44,780 in July 2022, rose to 46,691 by August 2023, then jumped to 54,345 in July 2024 before reaching 62,313 in July 2025. That equates to roughly 1,900 miles in year one of the record, 7,654 in the next, and 7,968 in the final span, against a ten-year average near 6,231. The low early figure and later catch-up suggest a period of light use followed by normal commuting, with no standing-still gaps or aggressive accumulation that would flag drivetrain abuse. The record itself is sparse on faults, so no consumable neglect or structural corrosion emerges from the data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's decade of age and the absence of any advisory history that might otherwise reveal gradual wear. The duplicated 15 July 2025 entry with a no-defect failure warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the refusal cause was clerical. No recurring tyre, exhaust, or corrosion issues appear in the chain, so previous owners appear to have kept the Qashqai to a basic pass standard without deferred maintenance.
