2015 Nissan Qashqai N-TEC + DCI 1.5L Heavy oil · JRZ 6035

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-15 at 99,301 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. However, a preceding failure on 2026-02-09 at 98,885 miles—just six days earlier—raises questions about the reliability of the test outcomes. No defects were noted in either test, suggesting either a procedural error or a transient issue resolved rapidly. Prior MOTs from 2023 to 2025 showed consistent passes with no recorded defects, implying a generally well-maintained vehicle. The absence of structural or mechanical failures in the historical record up to 2025 supports the conclusion that the car has remained roadworthy, though the recent failure warrants cautious scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 99,301 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 9,027 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT intervals are regular, with annual tests from 2023 to 2026, indicating consistent compliance. Notably, the gap between 2025-02-11 (81,845 miles) and 2024-02-10 (74,291 miles) suggests a 7,554-mile reduction, which could reflect a period of reduced use or potential odometer tampering. However, no anomalies in the recorded mileage are flagged in the MOT history, and the lack of defects in prior tests mitigates immediate concerns about wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate warning. The braking system, including disc corrosion and caliper binding, should also be checked, as these issues can develop gradually. While no exhaust emissions failures are recorded, a visual inspection of the exhaust system for leaks or rust is advisable. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body seams, should be assessed for corrosion, as this can compromise safety in older vehicles. The MOT history provides no evidence of recurring faults, but a professional inspection is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
