2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · GY15 AEL

The 2015 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 120,802 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. The maintenance trend is steady, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the five-year record. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The car covered 74,871 miles by 24 March 2023, rose to 82,148 by 19 March 2024, then jumped to 99,391 by March 2025, and reached 120,802 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 17,000 to 21,000 miles in the last two twelve-month periods, above the long-term average of about 11,000 per year. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only a failed test on 18 March 2025 at 99,391 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass one day later on 19 March 2025 at identical mileage, which suggests an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the elevated recent annual mileage. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet the record alone cannot confirm underside condition or consumable wear between tests. Prior ownership appears to have kept the vehicle to a basic pass standard with no flagged neglect, though the 2025 same-mileage fail-pass pair warrants a check of the test centre paperwork. No recurring faults emerge, so mechanical risk rests with unseen wear from the heavier late-life mileage rather than documented defects.
