2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SD13 HAR

The June 4 2026 MOT outcome is a failure, so the vehicle is presently not roadworthy; the repeated presence of a light oil mist on the near‑side front shock absorber and a non‑functioning rear direction indicator show that the mechanical condition has not improved and, in fact, continues to deteriorate. Mileage has risen steadily from 11,723 miles in July 2018 to 59,658 miles by June 2026, averaging about 5,400 miles per year, with no evident long‑term standstill periods; the sequence of tests from 2020 through 2026 records a continuous usage pattern rather than isolated low‑kilometre intervals. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension arm pins and bushes that have been flagged repeatedly since 2022, inspect the front shock absorbers for oil leakage and mounting condition, verify the operation of the rear direction indicator and associated wiring, examine brake pad thickness and disc wear, and assess tyre tread depth and any puncture damage, as these items constitute the most persistent mechanical concerns.
