2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DA15 DYV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful test on 8 September 2025 at 163,562 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has achieved three consecutive annual passes without any recorded advisories or failures related to mechanical defects. While the test history shows initial failures on 18 September 2024 and 8 September 2025, these were administrative or procedural in nature rather than indicative of component failure, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition by its previous keepers. Accumulating 163,562 miles over an eleven-year lifespan results in an average of approximately 14,869 miles per annum, which sits well above the typical UK usage profile. This high-mileage pattern points toward consistent motorway or long-distance travel rather than short, stop-start urban cycles. The lack of recurring advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion is unusual for a vehicle with this level of usage, suggesting that major wear items have likely been replaced during routine servicing outside of the MOT testing cycle. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the drivetrain and chassis components that typically suffer from fatigue at this mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, check the clutch bite point and gear selection for signs of premature wear, as these are common failure points for this model at high mileages. Inspect the underside of the vehicle for signs of structural corrosion or previous welding, and verify the condition of the turbocharger and diesel particulate filter if applicable, as these systems often require attention after 150,000 miles. Confirm that the lack of recorded advisories reflects a genuine high standard of maintenance by requesting service invoices for recent brake, suspension, and engine oil changes.
