2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · DV15 DYM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in March 2026, although the MOT record reveals a concerning trend of recurring mechanical issues and deteriorating component condition. Failures in February 2026 and October 2024 indicate persistent problems with suspension components, emissions systems, and tyre wear. The most recent test identified multiple tyres near the legal limit, excessive play in steering components, and a distorted rear wheel rim, suggesting inadequate maintenance or delayed repairs. The vehicle’s condition reflects a pattern of deterioration rather than stability. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,541 miles annually. There are no significant gaps in the record, though the vehicle’s service history appears inconsistent. Mileage increases were steady, with the most recent test at 82,952 miles, indicating regular use without extended periods of inactivity. However, the lack of corrective action between failures suggests poor maintenance practices over time. Suspension components show repeated wear, particularly at ball joints and bushings, with both front lower arms and track rod ends flagged in multiple tests. Steering rack play and excessive joint movement point to potential handling instability. Tyre conditions have progressively worsened, with several nearing legal limits and showing perishing or edge wear. Brake system integrity remains unconfirmed but requires inspection due to prior advisory notes. Structural concerns include a distorted wheel rim and oil leaks, which may indicate underlying suspension or chassis fatigue. Buyers should verify brake function, check for corrosion around wheel arches, and assess tyre condition before purchase.
