2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DV15 DYW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT test on 2024-07-09 showing a pass at 106,788 miles. However, the record reveals recurring issues with tyre condition and brake discs. Two separate tests on the same day recorded failures due to exposed ply in front tyres and damaged rear tyres, indicating potential neglect in regular inspections or maintenance. The brake discs showed consistent wear but were not classified as serious, suggesting the previous owner addressed these issues before they became critical. Overall, the maintenance trend shows some instability, particularly with tyre management, but no major structural or mechanical failures have been reported. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 9,708 miles per year since 2015, which aligns with typical usage for its age. Mileage progression between tests appears steady, with no significant gaps or sudden spikes that might indicate long periods of inactivity or excessive use. The 2022 tests at 77,102 miles show similar brake disc wear as the 2023 test at 91,995 miles, suggesting the issue was ongoing but managed. The 2024 test at 106,788 miles confirmed that the tyres required attention, highlighting a pattern of minor but repeated concerns rather than a single catastrophic failure. A buyer should inspect the tyres closely, as multiple failures indicate possible poor maintenance or incorrect inflation practices. Brake discs should also be checked for further wear, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively or without regular servicing. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may warrant examination, though no direct evidence of damage was found in the MOT records. Structural integrity appears intact, with no signs of corrosion or frame damage reported. The presence of engine bay and undertray covers suggests the previous owner may have attempted to conceal underlying issues, so a thorough visual inspection is recommended.
