2015 NISSAN QASHQAI1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 21,803 miles flagged thin front brake pads and a perishing nearside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of thinning brake pads across 2024 and 2025 suggests the owner only addresses components once they approach legal failure limits. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the March 2023 test at 17,411 miles and the October 2023 test at 18,156 miles, representing only 745 miles driven over seven months. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted on the 2025 tyre advisory. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension system following the serious failure of the offside rear shock absorber in October 2023. Although that specific fault was repaired, low-mile vehicles can cause seals to dry out during periods of inactivity, so one should check all remaining dampers for fluid weeping. The brake system also requires scrutiny for pitting on the discs, as the thin pads observed in the last two tests indicate that the age of the components is becoming a greater factor than the physical mileage.
