2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · PF15 ABV

The 2015 Nissan Qashqai’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-28 at 80,616 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding test on 2026-01-27 at the same mileage failed despite no defects being noted, raising questions about the accuracy of the records or potential administrative errors. Earlier failures in 2025-03-25 (75,177 miles) and 2024-03-21 (65,584 miles) also showed no defects, indicating a pattern of inconsistent test outcomes rather than mechanical deterioration. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears unremarkable based on the data, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits confidence in the assessment. The vehicle’s mileage of 80,616 miles aligns with its 11-year age, averaging 7,329 miles annually. A notable jump from 65,584 miles (2024-03-21) to 75,177 miles (2025-03-25) suggests a 9,593-mile increase over 12 months, which could indicate heavier usage or infrequent MOT testing. The subsequent 5,442-mile accumulation to 80,616 miles by 2026-01-28 reflects a slower pace, potentially due to seasonal use or reduced driving. The MOT history lacks gaps, but the absence of detailed defect records prevents a thorough evaluation of wear on components like suspension, brakes, or exhaust systems. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these are common issues in older SUVs. The lack of corrosion or structural defects in the MOT records is reassuring, but the repeated failures without recorded issues warrant scrutiny. Checking for binding calipers, uneven tyre wear, or exhaust emissions could reveal underlying problems not captured in the tests. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no clear pattern of recurring faults, but the ambiguity in the MOT data necessitates a hands-on inspection to confirm its mechanical integrity.
