2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · CL05 LEY

This Nissan Qashqai demonstrates a remarkably consistent record of roadworthiness, characterized by a total absence of recorded defects or advisories across several consecutive years of testing. This stability is confirmed by the clean pass on 25 March 2026, following a brief failure and subsequent retest earlier that month. Such a void of flagged issues suggests a vehicle that has maintained its structural and mechanical integrity without the chronic wear or recurring faults typically seen in high-mileage crossovers. With a recorded mileage of 115,076 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,461 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a car of this age. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than subjected to extreme long-distance commuting or prolonged periods of stagnation. Mechanically, this level of usage implies that while the core components have been consistently exercised, the drivetrain and suspension are now entering a phase where wear on consumables is expected. Given the lack of historical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of high-wear components that may not have yet triggered a failure. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering rack and suspension bushes for any knocks or vibrations when traversing uneven surfaces, as these are common wear points for this model at this mileage. Ensure the gear transitions are smooth and there is no excessive shuddering during acceleration, which would indicate drivetrain wear not captured in a stationary MOT test. A thorough check of the brake pedal feel is recommended to ensure there is no sponginess or judder, and the steering should be checked for any pull to one side. While the DVSA records show no structural corrosion or exhaust leaks, a visual inspection of the underbody is still prudent to confirm the absence of surface rust on the subframe. Verifying the service history against the mileage will provide the final confirmation that the mechanical health matches the clean testing record.
