2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · YE16 VMD

The December 2025 MOT at 92,147 miles confirmed the Nissan Qashqai as roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a pass outcome, indicating a stable maintenance trend following the December 2023 failure where the vehicle was initially rejected due to a nail in the off‑side front tyre and front brake pads below 1.5 mm. The recorded mileage has risen from 44,521 miles in May 2019 to 92,147 miles in December 2025, an average increase of roughly 9,200 miles per year, consistent with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. Intervals between tests show steady growth: 2020‑2021 (62,099 → 62,799 mi), 2021‑2022 (62,799 → 72,431 mi), and 2023‑2024 (80,715 → 86,361 mi), with no anomalous jumps, suggesting regular annual servicing and normal wear accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension bushes, coil springs, steering components and any binding calipers for signs of wear or binding, given the repeated edge wear on both front tyres and the history of thin front brake pads. Particular attention must be paid to the condition of the front brake discs, calipers and pads, as the 2021 and 2023 records show progressive pad wear below the 1.5 mm threshold. The vehicle should also be examined for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, and the exhaust system should be tested for emissions compliance, as these areas are prone to corrosion on high‑mileage examples.
