2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · SC16 VRT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 16 June 2026, though the record indicates a worsening trend in mechanical condition. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection, it required a rectification of a major defect regarding a leaking rear shock absorber to achieve this status. The presence of multiple brake-related advisories in the most recent test suggests that the braking system is nearing the end of its service life and will require imminent financial investment. The recorded mileage of 58,559 miles over a ten-year period averages approximately 5,856 miles per annum. This low usage pattern is consistent across the provided history, showing no evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic mileage jumps between annual tests. The consistent, low-mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used for short, regular journeys rather than high-speed motorway commuting. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking system, specifically the discs and pads, as these components have received recurring advisories since 2024. The suspension history also warrants close scrutiny, as the front suspension arm bushes were flagged in 2025 and the rear shock absorbers have progressed from light misting to a major fluid leak within a twelve-month window. Given the recurring nature of these suspension and brake warnings, the vehicle requires a comprehensive assessment of its chassis components and hydraulic systems to ensure long-term functionality. Buying score 55. Risk level Medium.
