2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SH10 LAB

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently satisfactory, though the MOT history indicates a pattern of maintenance that may require closer inspection. The most recent test on 2025-10-22 passed at 87,031 miles, confirming that the vehicle has maintained adequate performance and condition since that date. The maintenance trend is not strictly stable; rather, it shows a slight deterioration in the most recent test at 87,025 miles, where the rear brake pad became less than 1.5 mm thick, a condition flagged as a binding issue. This suggests that while the vehicle has been driven, the braking system has experienced a minor wear cycle that requires verification before the owner proceeds with further road use. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to evaluate the condition of the suspension components and the state of the brake pads, as the history indicates frequent deterioration of suspension bushings and ball joints in both front and rear sections. Additionally, the record highlights significant corrosion on the track rod end ball joints, which may compromise the structural integrity of the suspension system. Given the age of the vehicle (approx. 11 years) and the mileage of 7,912 miles per year, the primary concern is whether the suspension bushings and ball joints have reached their design limits, which could lead to an eventual failure if not addressed immediately.
