2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SL16 DGE

The overall roadworthiness status is currently passing, but the maintenance trend is not stable; it is worsening, with the most recent test failing on 2023-05-24 at 66,157 miles. This indicates a clear pattern of mechanical degradation rather than consistent upkeep, suggesting that the vehicle has not undergone the necessary preventative maintenance since the 2023 test. The mileage history reveals a significant gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where the vehicle failed at 66,157 miles and passed at 70,001 miles in May 2024. This abrupt increase in recorded miles after the 2023 test suggests a lack of regular servicing or a reliance on a single test result rather than actual driving conditions. The vehicle has likely accumulated wear on suspension components, brake discs, and drivetrain parts without proper rotation or replacement. Given the recent failure and the gap in data, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical components. The most critical checks include verifying the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are prone to corrosion and fatigue under the weight of the car. Additionally, the brake discs and calipers must be inspected for wear and potential binding, as the history shows a failure at 66,157 miles, which is a critical threshold for brake integrity. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity of the chassis should also be assessed, as the vehicle has likely accumulated excessive mileage without addressing these risks.
