2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DY15 WFS

The vehicle currently fails the MOT test at 2026-03-12, indicating a significant roadworthiness issue requiring immediate inspection. The most recent test was passed at 65,669 miles on 2026-03-12, which is consistent with the vehicle's age and mileage, suggesting the current condition is the result of wear rather than a sudden drop in performance. The failure on this date is linked to a compromised suspension arm ball joint dust cover, which is a critical structural component that must be replaced to prevent further damage to the chassis. Regarding the mileage trend, the vehicle has maintained roughly 5,970 miles per year, which is low for an 11-year-old Nissan Qashqai. While this suggests the car may have been driven less frequently than expected, the consistent mileage pace indicates that the wear on the drivetrain, particularly the suspension and brakes, has been relatively stable over the past two years. There are no abrupt jumps in mileage that would suggest rapid acceleration or a significant increase in consumption rates since the last test. A buyer should inspect the vehicle personally for the worn suspension bushings and ball joints, as well as the brake discs and calipers, which were flagged as severely deteriorated during the most recent test. The history of failed tests on the 2025-03-10 date reveals that the front and rear child seats are not allowing full inspection of the adult belt, which is a safety hazard. Additionally, the central exhaust emissions are likely to be affected by an exhaust leak, a condition that requires immediate diagnosis and replacement. The overall maintenance history shows no clear trends of worsening structural integrity, but the specific failure points on the suspension and braking systems necessitate a thorough physical examination.
