2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · WR66 ADO

The most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑08 shows a failure at 108,954 miles due to an excessively worn nearside front anti‑roll bar ball joint, tyre wear advisories on all three tyres (225/45/19) and a defective offside front wiper. The same day’s passed test recorded only the tyre wear advisories, confirming the vehicle did not meet the required standard. Over the past three years the pattern of defects has shifted from parking‑brake issues and wiper problems to a clear deterioration in suspension wear and persistent tyre degradation, indicating a worsening maintenance trend while brake‑pad wear remains a recurring advisory. The 2016 Qashqai carries 108,955 miles as of July 2026, averaging roughly 10,900 miles per year—a typical figure for its age. MOT entries demonstrate a steady mileage increase from 65,716 miles in September 2021 to the current figure, with annual tests maintained despite a brief gap in late 2020. The consistent mileage accumulation points to normal road use rather than extended storage periods. A buyer should inspect the nearside front anti‑roll bar ball joint for excessive play, verify tyre tread depth and edge wear on all 225/45/19 tyres, and test the offside front wiper for effective clearance. Brake pads have been noted as thin in recent tests; checking pad thickness and disc condition is advisable. The parking brake’s intermittent failure in 2023 warrants a thorough operational test and efficiency check. Finally, a visual survey for chassis corrosion, exhaust mounting points and wheel‑arch rust will reveal any structural compromises that may affect long‑term integrity.
