2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DG65 XRW

The 2015 Nissan Qashqai presents a fully clean MOT record through five consecutive annual tests, with the most recent pass issued on 21 January 2026 at 23,193 miles and zero defects recorded. That is a remarkably strong result for a vehicle approaching eleven years of age. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently improving in the sense that no advisories or failures have ever appeared across the entire documented history. No recurring faults, no corrosion items, no brake or suspension defects, and no emissions failures have been flagged at any point. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of very light use. Between the January 2022 test at 19,212 miles and the January 2026 test at 23,193 miles, the vehicle covered just 3,981 miles over four years, averaging roughly 995 miles per year in that window. Across the full five-test span from January 2022 to January 2026, the annual average sits close to 1,000 miles. That is exceptionally low even by urban commuter standards. Such light use keeps consumable wear minimal, but it also raises the possibility of prolonged standing periods, which can affect tyre sidewall condition, brake disc surface corrosion, and fuel system components. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress. Check all four tyres for date codes and sidewall cracking, as tyres older than six years can degrade internally regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from standing, particularly on the rear circuit where the parking brake mechanism can seize. Examine the underside for any early signs of structural corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and sills, since even low-mileage vehicles can rust if kept in damp or coastal conditions. The exhaust system and DPF, if fitted, deserve attention because short-trip-only use can cause incomplete regeneration and soot accumulation. Overall, this Qashqai's documented history is as clean as any used car buyer could hope for. The combination of zero defects across five consecutive MOTs and extremely low mileage accumulation suggests a vehicle that has been well cared for and lightly used. The primary risk is not mechanical failure but age-related degradation from underuse, which a thorough pre-purchase inspection covering tyres, brakes, and underbody condition should adequately address.
