2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · KV64 XTP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 80,072 miles. This recent result indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards after a period of recurring mechanical issues. While the car failed its test in January 2025 due to a dangerous structural failure of the nearside front tyre, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects or advisories in the most recent test suggests that the owner has finally addressed the critical safety-related faults identified in the previous year. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between January 2023 and February 2024, and another 4,200 miles between February 2024 and January 2025. This moderate mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-stress driving, though the age-related degradation of rubber components remains a factor despite the relatively low total odometer reading. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a persistent history of deteriorating components. Since 2023, the tester has repeatedly flagged deteriorated lower ball joint dust covers, track rod end covers, and front suspension arm bushes. The presence of a distorted nearside front wheel on the inner edge, noted in both 2024 and 2025, indicates a previous impact or alignment issue that may have caused uneven tyre wear. An in person inspection should verify for play in the ball joints and ensure that the distorted wheel has been replaced to prevent further vibration or steering instability.
