2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · NJ65 WMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 11, 2025, but the recent history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test indicates the vehicle meets minimum standards, two failures within eight days in June 2025 highlight a significant lapse in basic safety-critical inspections. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure, evidenced by the rapid progression from worn suspension components to dangerously thin brake pads in a very short window. At 90,502 miles, this 2015 Nissan Qashai has averaged approximately 8,227 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for its age. The data shows a concentrated period of activity between April 2024 and June 2025, where the vehicle covered 5,000 miles in just over fourteen months. This relatively low annual mileage, combined with the multiple failures for low oil levels and poor washer fluid, implies the car may have sat stationary or suffered without essential fluids being checked and filled between annual testing intervals. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with the ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages across 2024 and 2025. The offside front suspension arm ball joint was flagged as excessively worn in June 2025, which can affect steering precision and tyre wear. Furthermore, the offside rear tyre has been noted for cracking and damage across three consecutive tests, indicating the rubber is failing due to age rather than wear and should be replaced immediately despite potentially having sufficient tread depth. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system was reported as inoperative in June 2025 and requires verification to ensure it is not a persistent electronic fault.
