2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · MH15 NEJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT on 10 June 2026. While the most recent test resulted in an initial failure due to insufficient windscreen washer fluid, this was a minor consumable issue that did not impact the mechanical integrity of the car. The absence of any defects or advisories in the latest pass suggests that recent maintenance has addressed previous concerns. The recorded mileage of 19,473 miles is exceptionally low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,770 miles per year. This pattern indicates infrequent use, which often correlates with less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the MOT history reveals that this low usage likely contributes to the recurring tyre issues noted over the last three years. A consistent trend of tyre degradation is evident in the records. The July 2023 test flagged cracking on the rear tyres, a condition that persisted through the July 2024 test with additional advisories regarding front tyre tread depth. By July 2025, the rear tyres continued to show signs of perishing and cracking. This pattern suggests the vehicle may sit idle for extended periods, causing the rubber to age and degrade despite minimal physical use. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not beyond their service life due to age-related perishing. Given the low mileage and the history of tyre cracking, it is also prudent to check for any signs of fluid leaks or seized components that can occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Beyond the tyres, the lack of advisories regarding brakes, suspension bushes, or structural corrosion suggests the vehicle has been kept in a decent state of repair.
