2015 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Smart VIS DCI 1.5L Heavy oil · EK15 HMU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 with no defects recorded. A review of the history dating back to February 2022 reveals a remarkably consistent pattern of clean passes without any recorded advisories or failures. This indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the previous owners have likely addressed wear and tear items proactively before the annual inspection, reflecting a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 94,634 miles over approximately eleven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,603 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for a family SUV of this vintage, suggesting a balanced mix of urban and motorway driving. Because the mileage is neither excessively high nor abnormally low, the drivetrain and major chassis components should not be overly stressed, although the vehicle has now reached a threshold where mid-life component wear is expected. Despite the clean MOT history, a vehicle of this age requires a diligent physical inspection. You should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or fine cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of remaining tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, and during the test drive, feel for any brake shudder or binding calipers. Pay particular attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of splitting or fatigue, listening for clunks or knocks when traversing uneven road surfaces. Verify the service history stamps to ensure the engine oil and filters have been changed according to the manufacturer intervals, as diesel particulate filters can become clogged if service intervals are neglected. Check the condition of the 12V battery and ensure the coolant is clear and free of contaminants. Given the age of the vehicle, it is advisable to confirm when the brake fluid and transmission oils were last replaced, as these fluids degrade over time and can impact the long term integrity of the braking system and gearbox.
