2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LL65 MZN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 April 2026 with 129,342 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner successfully addressed the defects identified in the previous year. While the 2025 test revealed mechanical failures, the lack of advisories or defects in the latest report suggests that the immediate mechanical safety-critical components are currently meeting passing standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per annum. Between March 2023 at 105,918 miles and April 2025 at 122,598 miles, the car covered roughly 17,000 miles in two years, indicating regular road use. This consistent usage often prevents the moisture-related corrosion associated with long periods of standing, though it places standard wear on the drivetrain and suspension typical of high-mileage crossovers. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the offside steering rack gaiter, which caused a failure in April 2025. Although the vehicle passed since, a torn gaiter can allow grit to enter the steering assembly, leading to premature rack failure and expensive repairs. Inspect the area for grease leakage or perished rubber material to ensure the repair was comprehensive. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and control arm bolts is also advisable, as these components frequently reach the end of their service life around the 130,000-mile mark.
