2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · VU65 YNJ

This 2015 Nissan Qashqai has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded since its most recent test on 8 December 2025, though it did undergo a rare retest on 28 October 2024—likely due to administrative oversight rather than mechanical failure. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the past five tests suggests the vehicle has been kept in stable condition, though the retest indicates a brief lapse in timely testing. The latest MOT, just under seven months old, remains valid but should prompt a buyer to verify whether the vehicle has since accumulated additional mileage or undergone any unrecorded servicing. The mileage progression of approximately 6,477 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (around 1,900 miles in 12 months) is negligible and does not raise concern, nor does the minor overlap in mileage at the 2024 retest. There is no evidence of excessive wear from high mileage, nor does the record suggest prolonged neglect, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing details means some hidden deterioration could exist. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear bushings and coil springs—given their typical wear patterns at this mileage. The brakes, while never failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as these often develop gradually without MOT detection. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been parked outdoors. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system, as catalytic converter efficiency can degrade silently over time. No major red flags emerge from the MOT data, but these areas demand thorough examination.
