2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · VN66 FML

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent inspection on 13 October 2025 at 104,172 miles. Following a singular failure in the previous year, the mechanical and structural components have maintained a passing standard without recorded defects. The lack of advisories across the last three tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing issues before they escalate into failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 62,813 miles and the October 2024 test at 89,887 miles, the car covered 27,074 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The recent interval of 14,285 miles since October 2024 indicates a regular operating environment, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and brake components compared to long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is currently clean, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage wear common to the 100,000-mile threshold. A buyer should check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade at this distance. Given the failure in October 2023 which was rectified immediately, verifying the integrity of the specific component that caused that failure is a prudent step to ensure no deep-seated issues or structural corrosion remains on the chassis.
