2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SW15 XHH

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state following a clean pass in April 2026 at 82,477 miles. The maintenance trend shows clear signs of improvement after a period of reactive neglect. While the vehicle failed tests in 2024 and 2025, the most recent inspection indicates no current defects, suggesting that the previous owner addressed the outstanding mechanical issues and is currently maintaining a higher standard. At 82,477 miles over 11 years, the Nissan Qashqai has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between March 2024 and April 2025, and another 12,300 miles recorded in the final year. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of rubber seals and mechanical components. A buyer should focus specifically on the steering and suspension assembly given the historical failures. The 2024 failure identified a worn offside front track rod end and nearside steering rack inner joints, while the 2025 failure highlighted a fluctuating offside rear service brake and thin pads. Although these were marked as rectified, a physical inspection should check for any remaining play in the steering geometry and ensure the rear brake caliper is not binding or sticking. The uneven tyre wear noted in 2025 also suggests that previous alignment issues may have existed, which should be verified to prevent premature wear on new tyres.
