2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LS65 AFK

This Nissan Qashqai presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 125,305 miles showing no defects—an outcome repeated in the prior two tests (August 2024 at 105,039 miles and August 2022 at 69,300 miles). The sole anomaly is a failed MOT on 31 August 2021 at 57,950 miles , though no specific defects were recorded, suggesting a possible administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical failure. The consistent passing of recent tests, including the latest within the past nine months, indicates the vehicle has met all DVSA roadworthiness standards under current ownership. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or major component failures, which would typically signal neglect or systemic issues. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with average expectations for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 11,391 miles per year over its lifetime. The gap between the 2021 failure (57,950 miles) and the next test (51,950 miles in September 2021) is unusual—suggesting either a retest after a minor correction or a clerical error in mileage recording. Beyond that, the intervals between tests are standard, with no rapid mileage spikes that might indicate aggressive driving or prolonged periods of disuse. The most recent 20,266-mile jump between August 2024 and August 2025 is typical for a well-used vehicle, and the absence of defects in that period reinforces the impression of reliable upkeep. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should still verify a few key areas in person. While no major faults have been logged, suspension components—such as control arm bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends —should be checked for wear, especially if the vehicle has been driven on uneven roads. The brake system , including calipers, discs, and pads, warrants inspection for uneven wear or corrosion, even though no binding or leaking issues have been recorded. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the lack of advisories for rust or frame damage, but a close look at wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels for surface corrosion would be prudent. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions controls should be visually inspected for leaks or tampering, though the consistent MOT passes suggest these are unlikely issues. The vehicle’s history suggests it has been maintained to a standard that meets all legal requirements, but no record can fully replace a hands-on inspection. Potential buyers should treat this as a baseline and use it to focus their attention on wear-prone areas rather than assuming the car is free of hidden issues. The lack of advisories or defects in recent years is a positive indicator, but typical high-mileage items—such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels—should still be verified before purchase.
