2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · HT15 RGU

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension-related wear and tyre management. The most recent test in September 2025 at 133,902 miles flagged multiple advisories including worn tyres, a deteriorating registration plate, and a worn offside front suspension arm bush. While the vehicle passed, the frequency of these defects across the last three tests suggests a reactive approach where components are only addressed upon failure rather than through preventative maintenance. At 133,902 miles over eleven years, this Qashqai has covered an average of over 12,000 miles per year, which sits above the typical UK annual average. The data shows consistent high-mile usage, with 6,715 miles covered between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 5,087 miles between October 2024 and September 2025. This constant usage profile places significant stress on drivetrain and suspension components, explaining the recurring degradation of rubber bushes and tyre tread noted in the MOT records. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry, as both the offside front suspension arm bush and ball joint dust cover have been flagged as deteriorated in 2024 and 2025. The recurring reports of uneven tyre wear across multiple axles indicate a likely persistent alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that remain unaddressed. Additionally, the persistent damage to the nearside rear seat belt webbing has remained since 2021, requiring close attention to ensure the fraying has not compromised the structural integrity of the webbing.
