2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · LX15 KDF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on April 23, 2026, 49,738 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. This occurred just five days prior to the successful test when the vehicle failed due to a fractured offside front coil spring. While the immediate mechanical defect has been rectified, the recent failure indicates that the owner only addresses critical issues once they result in an MOT test failure. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 49,738 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,522 miles per year. This low usage suggests the car has spent long periods stationary, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 5,800 miles, yet the 2025 test at 44,272 miles revealed that both the nearside and offside front outer tyres were worn to the legal limit and showed edge wear, indicating potential alignment issues or neglected basic consumable maintenance. A prospective buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the previous coil spring failure and uneven tyre wear suggest the bushings or dampers may be under stress. The 2025 failure regarding the registration plate lamps is a minor electrical fault but reinforces the trend of limited attention to minor detail work. Given the low-mileage profile, it is essential to check for brake disc corrosion and seizing of the calipers, as these are common failure points for vehicles that sit for extended periods without regular use.
