2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DP65 AAK

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred attention on mechanical wear items. The most recent test in November 2025 at 88,515 miles identified a recurring defect with the electronic parking brake and multiple tyre issues across three corners. While the car passed, the persistence of the parking brake fault for a second consecutive year since 2024 indicates a developing electronic or mechanical fault that has not been professionally rectified by the previous owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 61,056 miles and November 2025 at 88,515 miles, the car covered roughly 27,500 miles, representing a steady usage profile. The gap between the clean record in late 2023 and the multiple advisories in 2025 suggests that the vehicle is only maintained in response to MOT failures rather than through a proactive preventative schedule. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the electronic parking brake system, as it has been flagged in both 2024 and 2025. This component can be expensive to replace if the actuator or control module fails entirely. The 2025 advisory regarding deteriorated front shock absorber dust covers also requires attention; if left unaddressed, moisture ingress will lead to leaking and premature failure of the dampers. Furthermore, the history of uneven tyre wear and sidewall cracking noted in 2022 and 2025 warrants an alignment check to ensure the suspension geometry is not scrubbing out the tyres prematurely.
