2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · MD15 XAW

The 2015 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 6 November 2025 at 62,565 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 7 November 2024 at 59,670 miles also passed without advisories or failures, and the record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the entire five-test history. This is a well-maintained vehicle with no evidence of worsening or unresolved defects. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,688 miles per year. Between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, the car covered just 2,895 miles over twelve months, indicating very light recent use. The gap between the 2022 test at 48,107 miles and the 2023 test at 54,497 miles shows a slightly higher annual figure of around 6,390 miles, but the overall pattern remains well below the UK average. The 2024-11-06 failure entry at 59,667 miles recorded no defects, suggesting a procedural or administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical failure, with the car passing cleanly the following day at the same mileage. Despite the clean MOT record, the low annual mileage and long periods of potential standing warrant a careful physical inspection. Buyers should check for uneven tyre wear or perished sidewalls caused by prolonged stationary parking, and inspect brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion that can develop on lightly used vehicles. Suspension components, including bushes and dampers, should be examined for deterioration that age alone can cause regardless of mileage. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been used primarily for short, local trips that prevent moisture from burning off. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but low-mileage vehicles carry their own specific risks that a test drive and physical inspection will reveal more reliably than paperwork alone.
