2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · VF15 BZY

The 2015 Nissan Qashqai presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 27 June 2025 at 38,010 miles, passed with zero defects. This marks five consecutive years of first-time passes with no advisories or failures, indicating a vehicle that has been well-maintained and kept in sound mechanical order. The trend is firmly stable, with no recurring faults or emerging deterioration patterns to raise concern. The mileage profile is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle. Accumulating just 38,010 miles since 2015 equates to roughly 3,455 miles per year, well below the UK annual average of around 7,000 to 8,000 miles. The progression between tests is consistent and gradual: 24,390 miles in July 2021, 27,710 in July 2022, 30,834 in July 2023, 34,690 in July 2024, and 38,010 in June 2025. Each year shows an accumulation of approximately 3,000 to 3,400 miles, with no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps. The most recent test is dated just under 12 months ago, meaning a fresh MOT will be due by late June 2026. Despite the clean MOT history, the low annual mileage warrants attention to components that deteriorate with time and infrequent use rather than wear. Tyres may look serviceable but could be approaching age-related cracking, particularly if the vehicle has spent long periods stationary. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for surface corrosion and binding, as short trips and standing periods accelerate these issues. The exhaust system, including the catalytic converter and lambda sensors, merits a check for moisture-related corrosion common in vehicles used predominantly for short journeys. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for perishing, as age alone can degrade rubber components regardless of mileage. A prospective buyer should verify the structural integrity of the underbody and subframe for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and suspension attachment areas. The steering rack and gaiters should be inspected for splits that could allow ingress of water and grit. Given the absence of any flagged defects across five consecutive tests, this Qashqai appears to have been responsibly maintained. The clean record, however, does not substitute for a thorough independent inspection, particularly of age-sensitive components that MOT tests do not always capture in their earliest stages of deterioration.
