2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · CP15 MTK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on January 13, 2026 at 44,559 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a mechanical failure in late 2024. While the car previously struggled with a fractured rear coil spring and deteriorating tyre condition, the most recent inspection indicates these specific issues were addressed. The lack of advisories in the latest test suggests the owner has responded to the critical failures identified in previous years. At 11 years old, the recorded 44,559 miles represent a low average of approximately 4,050 miles per year. This low-usage profile typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 4,600 miles covered between the 2024 and early 2026 tests. However, the low mileage suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which often correlates with the perishing tyres and pitted brake components noted in the earlier history. A buyer should closely inspect the suspension geometry, as the history shows a broken nearside rear coil spring and a deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage. These faults indicate that rubber bushes and metal springs are aging according to time rather than mileage. The braking system also shows a recurring pattern of thin pads and scored rear discs from 2022 through 2023. While the latest test passed, a physical inspection should check for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, which are common in vehicles that are driven infrequently. Tyres have been a consistent point of failure, with multiple entries for perishing and uneven wear appearing between 2022 and 2024. The buyer must verify the current set of tyres for sidewall cracking, as the low mileage often masks old rubber rot despite sufficient tread depth. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion is also necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not hidden underlying rust in the chassis points.
