2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · FV65 AAE

The 2015 Nissan Qashqai remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-08-11 at 59,007 miles, which recorded no defects. The vehicle has maintained a stable maintenance record over the past three years, with no recurring issues flagged in the 2024-2025 tests. A notable anomaly occurred on 2024-07-26, when a failed test at 52,347 miles coincided with a subsequent passing test at 52,355 miles, though no defects were recorded in either. This suggests a potential administrative error or minor technical inconsistency, but no structural or mechanical risks were documented. The vehicle’s mileage of 59,007 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 5,364 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual usage. This low mileage may indicate infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to component stiffness or corrosion. The 2023-08-10 test at 47,701 miles and the 2024-07-26 test at 52,355 miles show a gradual increase, but the 2025-08-11 test revealed a jump of 6,652 miles in 13 months, suggesting possible increased usage. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, making it difficult to assess wear on consumables like tyres or brake pads. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask age-related degradation. The exhaust system and corrosion-prone areas, such as underbody panels, warrant scrutiny, given the potential for stagnant use. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, even though no issues were recorded. The absence of advisories in recent tests is positive, but the vehicle’s maintenance pattern suggests a need for thorough mechanical evaluation to confirm its condition.
