2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · DX15 OCH

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 November 2025 at 92,250 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful re-tests. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to ensure compliance, yet the vehicle remains prone to specific issues that require attention before testing rather than indicating long-term mechanical neglect. The mileage progression is consistent with typical annual usage for an eleven-year-old petrol vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 81,496 miles and the November 2024 test at 87,520 miles, the car covered over 6,000 miles in eight months, indicating a period of higher activity. The subsequent 4,730-mile interval between November 2024 and November 2025 reflects a regular driving habit which generally helps prevent issues associated with vehicles standing for long periods. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the buyer must investigate the specific mechanical issues that caused the failures in November 2024 and November 2025. Given the age of the Qashqai, an inspection should focus on the suspension components, specifically control arm bushes and coil springs, which often wear out at this mileage bracket. A thorough check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and longitudinal members is also necessary, as these are common areas of failure for this model as it approaches its second decade of service.
