2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · KY15 WMC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 20 March 2025 at 160,895 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has passed without recorded defects across the last three successful tests. The failure recorded on 1 March 2025 at 160,036 miles shows no specific defects in the data, which often indicates an administrative error or a minor re-test requirement that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile indicates high usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,600 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between November 2022 and January 2024, where the car covered 20,000 miles in just 14 months. This rate accelerated further with nearly 20,000 miles driven between January 2024 and March 2025. Such consistent high-mileage operation puts considerable stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components compared to lower-mileage city cars. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically checking for perished rubber bushes and worn coil springs, given the high-mileage demand. The history does not flag recurring brake issues or exhaust corrosion, but the mileage suggests that brake discs may be nearing uneven wear. While the MOT record is clean of advisories, the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for corrosion on subframes, as high-mileage use often accelerates exposure to road salts over time.
