2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BJ65 CDK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate dated 2026-06-18, confirming that the most recent test was passed on 2025-05-06 at 92,500 miles. This indicates that the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness through the current year, with no recorded defects at the 92,500-mile mark. However, the MOT record is not entirely clean; a failure on 2023-04-24 at 86,879 miles reveals a critical structural risk requiring immediate attention. This 2023-04-24 failure represents a significant gap in the maintenance history, suggesting that the vehicle has experienced a consistent pattern of mechanical wear since the 2022-10-03 test, which was passed at 82,480 miles. The failure on 2023-04-24 at 86,879 miles is a serious structural defect that must be addressed before the vehicle can be sold, as it indicates a worsening trend in mechanical integrity rather than a temporary condition. The mileage accumulation over the past two years has been relatively consistent, with the vehicle having accumulated roughly 8,409 miles annually. This pattern suggests that the vehicle has been driven under average conditions without experiencing rapid wear on critical components like the suspension, brakes, or drivetrain. While the mileage is typical for an 11-year-old car, the absence of faults in the 2025-05-06 and 2024-05-22 tests, coupled with the specific failure date, implies that the vehicle has likely been maintained between the 2023-04-24 and 2023-05-17 tests. The lack of defects in the 2023-05-17 and 2023-05-22 tests further confirms that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical condition through the 2023-05-17 test, indicating that the issue was not a result of a single event but rather a cumulative process. Given the specific failure on 2023-04-24 at 86,879 miles, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear in the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The failure date suggests that the vehicle has been exposed to conditions that could cause corrosion or binding calipers, necessitating a full mechanical overhaul. The current roadworthiness is valid only if the vehicle is returned to a MOT certificate dated 2025-05-06 or later, and any identified defects must be repaired before the vehicle is sold. The maintenance history indicates that while the vehicle has been driven for approximately 11 years, the lack of faults in the 2025-05-06 and 2024-05-22 tests suggests that basic upkeep has been maintained, but the 2023-04-24 failure represents a mandatory repair requirement.
