2015 NISSAN QASHQAI1.2L Petrol

The 2015 Nissan Qashqai’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-12 at 50,903 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past three years, with every test—including the duplicate entry for 2023—resulting in a pass. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical issues, though this does not preclude wear that falls outside MOT scope. The most recent test was conducted just under nine months ago, placing it within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this age, though a pre-purchase inspection remains critical to verify components not routinely assessed by the MOT. The recorded mileage of 50,903 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of around 4,600 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This pattern is evident in the gaps between tests: the largest span occurs between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by just 3,160 miles over a year, followed by another 6,362 miles in the subsequent 12 months. Such low mileage could indicate the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may accelerate degradation of fluids, seals, and suspension components. Conversely, it could also reflect conscientious storage, though neither scenario is confirmed without further inspection. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus of a pre-purchase inspection should centre on suspension integrity, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are not routinely tested but are critical to handling and safety. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stood for prolonged periods. Tyre tread depth, despite passing MOTs, should be checked for uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment or suspension issues. Finally, inspect for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as low mileage does not preclude rust progression in exposed areas. The absence of advisories in past tests does not guarantee these areas are free from deterioration.
