2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · MM64 WSW

The most recent DVSA MOT recorded for this 2015 Nissan Qashqai was conducted on 16 April 2025, returning a Pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows an immediately prior test on the same date that resulted in a non Pass outcome, though the official record does not detail the specific reason. Earlier entries from April 2024, October 2022, and February 2022 all resulted in clean Passes with no advisories or defects recorded. Taken together, the MOT history suggests the vehicle has been broadly well maintained over the recorded period, and the current roadworthy status is favourable for a prospective buyer. There is no evidence of recurring or worsening defect patterns from the data provided. With a recorded mileage of 91,497 miles over approximately eleven years of service, the Qashqai has covered an average of around 8,318 miles per year, which sits comfortably within typical expectations for a family crossover of this vintage. There are no unusual mileage gaps or sudden accumulations recorded across the visible MOT history that would suggest a clock anomaly, long periods of standing, or excessive high-mileage use. This consistent usage pattern generally supports even wear across mechanical components such as the engine, transmission, clutch, and drivetrain, and suggests the vehicle has been in regular operation rather than left idle for extended intervals. Given the absence of advisory notes across the MOT history, there is no specific defect to target on inspection, but it would be prudent to focus on age and mileage related deterioration that may not yet have reached MOT failure thresholds. At eleven years old and approaching six figures in mileage, the buyer should physically inspect the tyres for sidewall perishing or cracking caused by age, even if tread depth remains adequate. Brake discs may show lipping or surface corrosion from general use, and the calipers and sliding pins should be checked for binding, particularly if the vehicle has been used predominantly for short journeys. Suspension components such as coil springs, anti-roll bar bushes, and lower arm bushes commonly wear around this mileage, so a careful test drive over uneven surfaces to listen for clonks or knocking is strongly advised. Fluid degradation on a calendar basis should also be considered, as the MOT does not assess the condition of engine coolant, brake fluid, or automatic transmission fluid where applicable. Given the vehicle's age, a full service history with evidence of recent brake fluid changes and coolant renewals would be reassuring, and the 12V battery should be tested for residual capacity, as Nissan Qashqais of this era are known for battery drain from infotainment and electronic systems. Finally, verify that the cambelt or timing chain replacement interval has been observed according to Nissan specifications, and inspect the underside for any signs of oil leaks from the sump, cam covers, or power steering assembly, which are common age-related issues on this model.
