AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A consistent record of clean MOT results over the last several years defines this vehicle's recent roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 19 November 2025 showing no defects. While the history includes various advisories regarding consumables between 2018 and 2023, the trend has moved toward a period of zero recorded defects in the two most recent inspections. This indicates that previous issues identified with tyres and braking components have been addressed, resulting in a stable recent testing profile. The vehicle has covered 85,997 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,818 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a moderate level of wear on mechanical components. Such steady, mid-range mileage generally implies that components like suspension bushes, exhaust systems, and drivetrain elements are subject to regular use rather than the potential degradation associated with long periods of inactivity or the accelerated wear found in high-mileage commercial use. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the braking system, given the history of advisories regarding worn linings and performance checks between 2019 and 2020. Although the 2025 record is clear, any sign of uneven braking or a pulsating sensation through the brake pedal during a test drive should be investigated. It is also prudent to check for any pulling to one side under braking, which could indicate a binding caliper or uneven pad wear, despite the recent passing results. Tyre and sensor maintenance should also be verified, following the 2023 advisory regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system light. During a test drive, ensure the TPMS light remains extinguished and that the vehicle tracks straight without steering pull. While the 2018 advisory noted tyre wear near the indicators, the subsequent clean records suggest this was resolved, but a visual inspection of the tread depth and sidewall condition across all four tyres remains a necessary step to ensure current compliance and safety.

Our Verdict

Overall this 2015 Nissan Qashqai present

When inspecting the vehicle, verify that the tyre pressures are set correctly and that the TPMS warning light has been reset, as the 2023 MOT recorded a tyre‑pressure advisory. Request any available service records to confirm regular oil changes and timing‑belt service, especially for the 1.2‑litre petrol engine, even though the MOT data does not cover these items. Negotiate on any upcoming maintenance items such as brake pad replacement or tyre renewal, which are common on vehicles with around 85,000 miles.

The model's aggregate data shows tyre‑related issues as a top MOT failure reason, so pay particular attention to tyre tread depth, sidewall condition, and wheel alignment. Additionally, inspect the headlamps and suspension arms for wear, as these are also frequent failure points for the Qashqai fleet. A thorough test drive will help reveal any handling quirks or warning lights that were not captured in the MOT records.

The 1.2‑litre petrol engine typically delivers around 45‑50 mpg in mixed driving, giving fuel costs of roughly £1,200‑£1,400 per year based on current fuel prices and average mileage. Road tax for a 2015 Qashqai with this engine falls into the £150‑£165 band. Insurance groups for this model are usually in the 20‑25 range, translating to an annual premium of about £600‑£800 for a standard driver.

Maintenance on the Qashqai is moderate; typical annual servicing, tyre replacement, and occasional brake work can add another £200‑£300. Combining fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, the estimated annual running cost is in the region of £800‑£1,000.

Check the tyre condition closely, as the 2023 MOT noted a TPMS light on due to tyre pressure. Look for uneven wear, sufficient tread depth (minimum 1.6mm), and ensure the pressure sensors are functioning. Also verify that the TPMS warning has been cleared after any pressure adjustment.

Inspect the headlamps for clarity and correct alignment, given that headlamp failures are among the most common MOT issues for this model. Ensure both low‑beam and high‑beam functions are operational and that the lenses are free from fogging or cracks. Additionally, examine the suspension components, especially the front suspension arms, for signs of wear or corrosion, as suspension arm failures are frequently recorded in the model's MOT data.

During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or steering, and confirm that the steering feels tight and responsive. Pay attention to any dashboard warnings beyond the TPMS light, and verify that all indicators reset after the MOT checks.

The Qashqai (registration MT65LKA) has a clean MOT history from 2021 to 2025, with the latest test at 85,997 miles showing no defects. Its mileage is marginally above the model's average annual mileage of 7,658 miles, translating to roughly 84,000 miles for an 11‑year‑old car. The only MOT advisory noted was a TPMS light for tyre pressure, which did not result in a failure. Given the data, the vehicle offers a reasonable balance of age, usage, and compliance with MOT standards.

Across 576,204 analysed Qashqais, the average MOT pass rate is 79.7%, indicating that the majority of vehicles meet basic roadworthiness standards, though tyre and headlamp issues are common.
