2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · VA65 AEJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-29 at 118,259 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date also shows a failure with no defects listed, raising potential data inconsistencies. Previous tests from 2024-08-05 (111,628 miles) to 2022-12-02 (98,410 miles) all passed with no issues, indicating a stable maintenance record over the last four years. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident from the records, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained in terms of roadworthiness. The mileage progression shows an average of 11,826 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle. However, the gap between the 2022-12-02 test (98,410 miles) and 2024-08-05 (111,628 miles) reflects 13,218 miles over 1 year and 8 months, followed by 6,631 miles in 10 months to 2025-07-29. This suggests periods of reduced usage, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, or engine wear if the vehicle was left idle. The absence of advisories or defects in all tests implies no urgent mechanical concerns, but the sparse data from 2025-07-29 requires scrutiny. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s current condition through a professional inspection, focusing on suspension components, brake systems, and corrosion, as these are common wear points in older vehicles. While the MOT history lacks specific faults, the lack of recent tests and the ambiguous 2025-07-29 failure entry warrant caution. Checking for fluid leaks, tyre tread depth, and exhaust emissions would provide further clarity on the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness.
