AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This 2016 Nissan Qashqai most recently passed its MOT in October 2024. While the vehicle has a clean record from 2022, the more recent history reveals a concerning pattern regarding the braking system and suspension. The primary risk is a recurring failure of the brakes. In September 2023, the car had worn and corroded discs and thin pads. Despite these advisories, the vehicle failed again in October 2024 due to both front and rear brake pads being dangerously thin (less than 1.5mm). This suggests a lack of preventative maintenance and a worsening trend in brake wear. The low mileage of approximately 4,096 miles per year for a ten-year-old car is significant. In this context, the evidence of corroded brake discs and worn suspension bushes suggests the vehicle may have suffered from long periods of standing rather than hard use. Low-use vehicles often experience "rot" and surface corrosion on braking components due to inactivity. The overall condition trend is declining, moving from a clean pass in 2022 to repeated failures and advisories related to essential safety components in 2023 and 2024.
