2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · FX65 UDL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the MOT history shows a developing trend of minor consumable wear. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 33,897 miles passed with an advisory for a pitted and scored offside front inner brake disc. While this is a recurring advisory, it remains a non-critical issue regarding structural integrity. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 4,400 miles, which is significantly lower than typical annual averages. This low usage likely explains why the vehicle passed several tests between 2019 and 2022 without any recorded defects, but it also suggests the car spends considerable time stationary. The recurring advisories regarding brake discs and tyres suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance on consumables. The tester flagged worn or perishing tyres in 2023 and 2024, specifically noting edge wear and cracking on the offside rear. The consistent mention of the offside front inner brake disc from 2023 through to 2025 indicates that while the component is not failing, it is undergoing surface corrosion or pitting, likely due to the low-mileage driving style where brakes may not reach optimal operating temperatures frequently enough to clear surface rust. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for any binding calipers or excessive vibration when braking, given the repeated disc advisories. It is also necessary to inspect the condition of all four tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as the 2024 record highlighted multiple tyres nearing legal limits or showing age-related degradation. Checking the battery health and fluid levels would also be prudent given the low annual mileage.
