2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · LK15 PXZ

The 2015 Nissan Qashqai holds a current MOT valid until late August 2025, passed cleanly at 86,828 miles with only minor advisories. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though the record reveals a pattern of recurring structural corrosion and suspension wear that warrants careful inspection. The most recent test flagged slight damage to the nearside outer sill and noted the nearside rear inner brake pads wearing thin, suggesting ongoing attention to the vehicle's underside condition and braking system is required. The vehicle has covered roughly 7,900 miles per year since new, a typical figure for its age. Mileage accumulation has been consistent, with no dramatic jumps or suspicious gaps. The 2024 test saw a failed attempt at 79,880 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring, rectified before the pass the following day at 79,881 miles. This indicates a prompt repair, but the failure itself points to a suspension component that may have been under stress for some time. The 2023 test recorded 72,931 miles, showing steady annual use without prolonged periods of inactivity. The recurring advisory for slight damage to the nearside centre and outer sill across multiple tests raises a flag about structural integrity. While the tester has not escalated this to a failure, the persistence of the note suggests ongoing corrosion or cosmetic deterioration that a buyer should inspect in person with the vehicle raised. The fractured coil spring in 2024 and the worn rear brake pads in 2025 both point to a vehicle that has been used regularly on roads that may accelerate wear. A thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or uneven wear is advisable. The track rod end dust covers flagged in 2023 were noted as deteriorated but not yet failing, so their current condition should be verified to confirm they have not worsened.
