2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LD65 DNX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a period of mechanical degradation followed by stability. The most recent test in October 2025 at 64,618 miles resulted in a pass with no mechanical defects, suggesting that the issues identified in previous years were addressed. However, the 2024 inspection at 58,244 miles revealed significant concerns, including deteriorated ball joint dust covers and worn suspension arm bushes on both front sides. The transition from multiple suspension failures to a clean pass indicates a recent intervention occurred. At 64,618 miles, this eleven-year-old vehicle reflects low mileage, averaging approximately 5,874 miles per year. This low usage profile often leads to premature aging of rubber components and brake-related issues rather than mechanical wear from distance. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 6,300 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady interval suggests the car is not sitting stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the pitting and corrosion on the brake discs noted earlier in the history. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the repairs following the 2024 failures were comprehensive. The previous record flagged deteriorated ball joint dust covers and worn bushes, so a check for any play in the steering or weeping from rubber boots is essential. The history also shows recurring uneven tyre wear and thin pads between 2021 and 2024, which necessitates a verification of the current wheel alignment and the condition of the front brake discs for any signs of the pitting mentioned in the October 2024 test.
