2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · EF15 MYD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension and consumable wear. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 79,502 miles passed, it introduced several new advisories compared to the previous year. The persistence of worn front inner suspension arm pins and bushes, which dates back to 2024 at 62,650 miles, suggests that these components are reaching the end of their functional life and have not yet been addressed. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the May 2025 test at 71,195 miles and the 2026 test at 79,502 miles, the car covered 8,307 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which is generally positive for mechanical components but contributes to the gradual degradation of rubber-based de-related parts seen in the MOT records. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the recurring faults on the arm bushes indicate a likely need for significant repair work. The May 2026 record also flagged pitted rear brake discs and a perished offside rear tyre, indicating that the owner is only replacing items as they approach failure limits. Check the condition of all remaining tyres for cracking and verify the thickness of the brake discs, as the reported surface corrosion can hide deeper structural thinning of the braking assembly.
