2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · WR65 UEO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a developing pattern of suspension-related wear. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 119,755 miles, the tester identified slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. This follows a failure in November 2024 where a similar offside front track rod end ball joint was flagged. While the vehicle has passed following these repairs, the recurring appearance of play in steering and suspension components suggests parts are reaching the end of their functional life. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,887 miles per year. There is a significant jump of over 46,000 miles between the November 2022 test at 62,451 miles and the November 2024 test at 109,124 miles. This period of high usage over a two-year span likely accelerated the wear seen on consumables, such as the rear brake discs and the suspension components noted in the subsequent records. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the noted ball joints and track rod ends have been properly replaced. The 2024 failure regarding worn rear brake discs necessitates a check of the current pad thickness and disc condition, as these were nearing replacement interval. Additionally, the history of perished and uneven tyre wear in 2022 and 2023 indicates a reactive approach to tyre maintenance, so a thorough evaluation of the current tyre tread quality and alignment is required to rule out ongoing suspension issues.
