2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · RW02 MOL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT test on 22 August 2025 at 79,253 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a curious failure just two days prior at 79,239 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial component adjustment failure that was rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or underlying structural issue. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a family vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year over its eleven-year life. Between the August 2022 test at 58,444 miles and the August 2025 test at 79,253 miles, the vehicle covered 20,809 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the car has not been subjected to long periods of stationary neglect, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components, brake seals, and suspension bushings compared to low-mileage vehicles. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related wear rather than documented defects. Examine the condition of the suspension coil springs and lower arms for corrosion, as these are common points of failure on this model despite clean mileage. Given the low annual mileage, verify the brake discs for surface rust and check the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, which can occur on vehicles used infrequently over long periods.
