2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SF65 ACS

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 13 June 2025 at 35,380 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. While the history shows instances of failure followed by immediate passes, the clean result sheets from subsequent tests indicate that any identified issues were addressed promptly, leaving the vehicle currently meeting all minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,538 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 30,605 miles and May 2024 at 33,103 miles, the car covered only 2,498 miles in over fourteen months. The subsequent interval saw 2,277 miles added, further confirming a pattern of infrequent use. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine, but it also introduces risks associated with vehicle stagnation, such as brake fluid absorption or the degradation of rubber components due to age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to low-mileage neglect. Because the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, the inspector must check for seized brake calipers or rusted brake discs, which often occur when cars are infrequently used. Examine suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, as age affects these materials regardless of the distance driven. Given the lack of structural advisories in the record, the chassis appears sound, but a close look for surface corrosion on the underbody remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked long-term environmental exposure.
