2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · BY52 JMC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026‑02‑09 at 59 556 miles shows a pass with an advisory on front and rear brake discs (worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened) and a separate failure for a non‑working windscreen washer. The brake disc condition is a recurring advisory that has appeared in every test since 2020, while the washer fault is a new functional defect that requires repair. The engine MIL fault recorded on 2022‑08‑31 has not reappeared, indicating that area is resolved. Overall the car remains roadworthy but carries a pending repair and an ongoing brake‑disc wear trend that suggests routine maintenance has been performed but the discs have not been replaced. Mileage progression reflects a low‑use pattern for an 11‑year‑old model. Between 2018‑06‑18 (21 059 mi) and 2026‑02‑09 (59 556 mi) the car averaged roughly 5 414 mi per year. The annual increments have gradually declined: 2020‑09‑10 to 2021‑09‑02 added 9 302 mi, 2021‑09‑02 to 2022‑08‑31 added 3 997 mi, and the last year to February 2026 added only 231 mi. This deceleration points to periods of inactivity rather than heavy service, which is favourable for component longevity but may mask corrosion if the vehicle has been stored. A buyer should inspect the braking system closely, confirming that both front and rear discs are within acceptable wear limits and that rear pads are not excessively thin. The suspension arm bushes should be examined for wear, as the 2020 test noted a worn offside front arm pin or bush. The windscreen washer nozzle and wiper blades need functional testing, and the offside rear tyre tread depth should be checked against legal limits given the 2020 advisory on edge wear. Finally, a visual survey for rust or corrosion on the under‑body and chassis is advisable, especially given the vehicle’s age and intermittent storage periods.
