2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BN65 XDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 99,859 miles passed, it returned with minor advisories regarding front tyre wear and a failed bulb. This follows a significant failure event in October 2024 where the car was flagged for multiple safety-critical deplets, suggesting a period where components were only addressed once they reached the point of failure. At 99,859 miles over 11 years, the Qashqai averages approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages. The mileage data shows a consistent usage pattern with roughly 10,000 miles accumulated between each annual test from 2022 to 2025. However, the density of faults during the October 2024 test at 89,407 miles indicates that despite the moderate mileage, the vehicle has suffered from significant component wear and neglect, particularly regarding the rubber-based components and braking system. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The 2024 failure flagged severely deteriorated dust covers on both front suspension arm ball joints and play in the nearside track rod end. While these were reportedly rectified for the subsequent pass, the recurring nature of suspension wear suggests the front assembly may be nearing further intervention. The record also notes thin rear brake pads and poor parking brake efficiency in 2024, necessitating a physical check of the rear mechanisms and caliper condition to ensure no binding has developed. Tyre maintenance shows a consistent pattern of neglect, with front tyres reaching legal limits or appearing uneven in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The 2024 failure specifically noted perishing and physical damage in the rear tyres, indicating a lack of basic vehicle health checks. The empty coolant reservoir noted in 2024 is also a red flag for potential cooling system leaks, which should be verified by checking for residue or coolant traces around the engine bay before purchase.
