2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · LP64 AOX

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 March 2024, though the appearance of multiple advisories indicates a downward trend in the condition of key consumables. While the history has been largely clean for several years, the recurrence of brake disc wear and the addition of tyre tread issues suggest that maintenance may have become reactive rather than preventative in recent periods. With a recorded mileage of 110,916 miles over an eleven year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,083 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a family crossover, meaning the mechanical components have been subjected to standard wear and tear. At this mileage, the buyer should anticipate the natural end-of-life for various rubber components and the potential need for drivetrain refreshment if the service history is not comprehensive. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system and front end geometry. The DVSA records highlight pitted and scored front brake discs, which can lead to reduced stopping efficiency and pedal vibration. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any shuddering through the brake pedal and listen for grinding noises. Furthermore, the report of inner edge tyre wear is a significant indicator of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. The buyer should physically inspect the tyre treads and listen for clunks or knocks when navigating uneven road surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds. Beyond the specific MOT advisories, a vehicle of this age and mileage requires a thorough check of its long term maintenance records. It is essential to verify that oil changes and filter replacements have been performed at the correct intervals to prevent internal engine sludge. The buyer should examine the underbody for signs of corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. Additionally, check the condition of the 12V battery and ensure that all calendar based fluids, such as brake fluid and coolant, have been refreshed to prevent internal corrosion and system failure.
