2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · RK16 MXB

The vehicle demonstrates a highly consistent and stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 March 2026 at 78,243 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories recorded. This clean history across the last four years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical failures or deteriorating structural components noted by testing stations. The recorded mileage of 78,243 miles over a ten-year lifespan averages approximately 7,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The accumulation of miles has remained steady, with the vehicle covering roughly 2,900 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. This consistent usage suggests the car has been kept in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which often helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components that typically face wear at this mileage, even if they did not trigger an MOT failure. Given the age of the vehicle, check the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these are common wear items on the Qashqai platform that may not always be flagged until they reach an advanced state of degradation. While the MOT history is exemplary, a visual check of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the exhaust system for signs of mounting fatigue remains prudent to ensure long-term reliability.
