2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · EO65 AAF

The most recent MOT test on 10 November 2025 was successful, following a minor initial failure regarding the beam image of the nearside headlamp. This particular failure is a common adjustment issue and does not reflect a deeper mechanical fault. Overall, the MOT history indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections with minimal defects, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed critical safety issues in a timely manner. With a recorded mileage of 123,010 miles over eleven years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 11,183 miles per year. This usage rate is typical for this class of vehicle and suggests a consistent pattern of use rather than periods of prolonged standing. However, exceeding the 100,000 mile mark means the vehicle is now in a phase where wear on high-stress components is inevitable. Prospective buyers should focus on the condition of the drivetrain and chassis, as these components are subject to cumulative fatigue at this mileage. Regarding specific maintenance, the 2023 MOT recorded advisories for thin front brake pads and worn front brake discs. While subsequent tests were clean, it is essential to verify via service records whether these components were replaced or if they are simply nearing the end of their service life again. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any brake shudder under heavy deceleration or a spongy pedal feel, which could indicate warped discs or contaminated brake fluid. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a physical inspection should extend beyond the MOT records. Check the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Inspect the suspension for clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces, which would suggest worn suspension bushes or drop links. Finally, verify the service history for calendar-based fluid changes, specifically the engine oil and coolant, and check the 12V battery health to ensure it can handle the electrical load of the vehicle's onboard systems.
