2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BN65 WRX

The most recent MOT test on 17 March 2026 confirmed the vehicle as roadworthy with no defects recorded, placing it in a stable condition relative to its age and mileage. The preceding test on 7 February 2025 also passed without issues, though the record shows an unusually close retest on 5 February 2025—just two days prior—where it failed without any defects noted. This suggests either a minor administrative oversight or a deliberate retest, but no mechanical concerns were raised in either instance. The last two full-year intervals (November 2023 and November 2022) similarly passed without failings, indicating consistent compliance with MOT standards over the past three tests. However, the absence of any advisories or defects across all entries means there is no historical evidence of recurring mechanical issues, though this does not preclude hidden wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 109,306 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of around 9,937 miles annually, which is typical for its class and age. There are no significant gaps in the record that would imply prolonged neglect, nor are there abrupt spikes in mileage between tests that might suggest aggressive use. The most notable irregularity is the retest in February 2025, which occurred just two days after the initial failure—an anomaly that does not correlate with mileage jumps or wear patterns. The steady progression of mileage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left unused for extended periods, which could mitigate some forms of degradation. Given the lack of recorded defects or advisories, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not captured by the MOT test. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common points of failure in this model at this mileage. The brakes, including the rear calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the MOT does not always detect subtle issues like glazed pads or warped rotors. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion, especially around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as this is a critical area for structural integrity. The absence of advisories in the MOT history does not guarantee these areas are sound, so visual and functional checks are essential.
