2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SM65 HJC

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection on 30 September 2025 at 77,794 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the same day. This indicates that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues immediately to maintain legal compliance. Since the pass in August 2024, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without further advisories or failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 62,808 miles and September 2025 at 77,794 miles, the car covered roughly 15,000 miles in twenty months. This rate suggests moderate usage, which typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2025, although the provided data does not detail the specific mechanical faults for those entries. Given the age of the Qashqai, a thorough check for corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points is essential as these are common areas of concern. Inspect the braking system for signs of binding calipers or uneven wear, and examine the lower control arm bushes for tearing or excessive lateral play which would indicate thinning suspension components despite the clean MOT history.
