2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DF64 DJZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 101,641 miles passed, it revealed lingering advisories regarding uneven tyre wear and deteriorated headlamp lenses. The overall trend shows a slight improvement following a significant failure in 2023, where the vehicle presented multiple suspension and brake defects, suggesting that components are often only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage progression is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,240 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 12,400 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,700 miles between September 2024 and 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components, though it accelerates the wear of rubber components noted throughout the record. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with suspension arm ball joint dust covers and track rod ends. The repeated deterioration of these components between 2022 and 2023 indicates a vulnerability to rubber perish or wear-related failure. The rear braking system also requires scrutiny, as the 2023 test flagged both thin pads and pitted discs. Furthermore, the uneven wear noted on the offside rear tyre in 2025 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn shock that needs to be verified to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
