2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FT15 SXD

The vehicle presents as roadworthy today, with the June 2026 test returning a clean PASSED result at 80,078 miles, indicating no current defects. The maintenance trend is stable, as the most recent inspection shows no issues, contrasting with previous years where minor concerns were flagged. The August 2025 test identified severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers, which, if left unaddressed, could allow contamination and accelerate joint wear. The August 2025 also noted a damaged track rod end dust cover, which compromises steering precision and safety. The July 2023 test flagged nearside front and rear tyres wearing close to the legal limit, suggesting uneven tyre rotation or alignment problems. The July 2022 test identified rear brake pads wearing thin, a critical safety concern requiring immediate replacement to prevent disc damage and ensure effective stopping power. The vehicle's low annual mileage of approximately 7,280 miles per year suggests minimal component wear but also raises the possibility of rubber degradation on suspension components from extended parking. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough visual inspection of the suspension bushes, track rod ends, and brake system to verify that previous defects have been rectified. A test drive is essential to check for any steering play, unusual noises, or brake pedal sponginess, ensuring the vehicle remains mechanically sound.
