NISSAN QASHQAI2015 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on December 4 2025 at 162,002 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the vehicle consistently secures a pass following a re-test. While the record shows failures immediately prior to passes, the lack of specific recorded defects on the failure reports suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor non-conformities rectified quickly rather than deep mechanical or structural failures. The Qashqai reflects high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 14,700 miles per year over its eleven-year life. Significant mileage accumulation occurred between December 2023 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered 24,504 miles in a single year, followed by 21,848 miles in the period leading to the 2025 test. This consistent high annual mileage puts considerable strain on heavy-duty components and accelerates wear on the drivetrain, turbo, and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage fatigue. Given the 162,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension control arms, ball joints, and shock absorbers is essential to identify play or leaks. The braking system should also be scrutinized for thin discs or seized caliper pistons, as high-frequency use often leads to accelerated-related wear. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, the structural integrity of the chassis should be inspected for corrosion to ensure the high-mileage exposure has not compromised the frame over time.
