2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · VF15 DXM

This Nissan Qashqai has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across the last five tests, including the most recent examination on 23 March 2026 at 129,016 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing, though the record does not confirm whether scheduled maintenance was performed. The dual MOT entries in May 2023—one pass and one fail at nearly identical mileages—appear anomalous and likely result from a technical error rather than genuine mechanical issues, as no defects were logged. Overall, the trend indicates stable roadworthiness, though the lack of advisories in prior tests means potential wear on high-wear components may not have been formally noted. The mileage progression of approximately 11,700 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests spans just over three months, which is standard for MOT intervals, and the recorded mileage increase of 11,176 miles in that period reflects consistent driving. There is no evidence of extended periods of disuse, which could have accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or fluid-based systems. However, the absence of detailed service records means wear on items like brake pads, tyres, or timing belts cannot be confirmed from this data alone. Given the lack of advisories or failures, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushings and coil springs, which are common failure points at this mileage. The brakes—though not flagged—should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet conditions. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns warrant scrutiny, as the record does not indicate whether previous tests assessed tread limits beyond the pass threshold. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for corrosion, as this is a frequent issue in vehicles of this age and mileage. The engine bay and drivetrain fluids should be inspected for leaks or contamination, though the MOT’s silence on these areas does not preclude gradual degradation.
