2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · VL13 ECK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available inspection data. The most recent test on August 27, 2025 at 78,510 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was identified and immediately rectified before the retest. Since 2022, the vehicle maintained a clean record without advisories or failures across multiple annual checks. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for this age, averaging approximately 7,850 miles per year. Between the May 2022 test at 64,503 miles and the August 2025 test at 78,510 miles, the car covered 14,007 miles over three years. This steady rate indicates regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized seals or perished rubber components. The lack of rapid mileage accumulation suggests the drivetrain and suspension have not been subjected to the excessive stress of high-mileage cycles. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural or serious mechanical faults, a buyer should still focus on common wear points for a Qashqai of this era. Given the age, a physical inspection of the front suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these often degrade before triggering an MOT failure. The brake system should also be checked for thinning discs or signs of caliper slider corrosion, as the record does not detail the condition of these consumables. Checking the underbody for surface rust will ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle enters its second decade.
