2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · RX15 EPN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. While the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 60,628 miles passed, the car had failed just six miles prior due to significant suspension issues. The offside front anti-roll bar linkage and the suspension arm bush were identified as excessively worn. These were addressed, yet the recurring nature of mechanical failures across multiple years suggests that components are only replaced once they reach the point of legal failure. At approximately 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,628 miles is notably low, averaging roughly 5,500 miles per year. This low usage profile often correlates with less wear on the drivetrain, but it can lead to age-related degradation of rubber. Between February 2024 (47,870 miles) and February 2025 (53,561 miles), the vehicle covered approximately 5,700 miles, which is consistent with its historical average. The mileage remains stable despite the low annual accumulation. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the recent repairs to the anti-roll bar linkage and arm bushes have fully rectified the play. The history shows a fractured offside rear coil spring in early 2025; therefore, the remaining springs should be checked for signs of fatigue or heavy corrosion. Additionally, the persistent ABS warning lamp and tyre pressure monitoring system faults reported in 2025 must be verified as resolved, as these are critical safety systems that indicate underlying electrical or sensor issues. The record also highlights a pattern of poor tyre management, with the offside front tyre being worn to the legal limit in both 2024 and 2025, and the nearside front showing a cut in the 2026 test. The buyer should check for uneven tyre wear, as the edge wear noted in previous tests suggests potential alignment issues or worn geometry.
