2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · YA65 AAY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-19 at 44,010 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-05-31 (41,290 miles) and 2023-11-30 (39,406 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent compliance. However, a failed test on 2024-05-30 at 41,289 miles—just one day prior—raises questions about procedural accuracy, as no defects were recorded despite the failure. This inconsistency may reflect administrative errors rather than mechanical concerns, but the gap between the 2025 test and the next scheduled check in 2026-05-19 warrants attention. The vehicle’s mileage of 44,010 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 4,001 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage could indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, increasing risks of fluid degradation, battery drain, or corrosion in stagnant areas. Notable gaps between MOT tests—12 months between 2023-11-30 and 2024-05-31, then 10 months until 2025-05-19—suggest irregular maintenance intervals. While the record shows no major defects, the sparse data limits insight into potential hidden issues from extended idleness. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the vehicle’s undercarriage for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, given the low mileage and potential for stagnation. Testing the battery and checking for fluid leaks or contamination is critical. Although no suspension or brake issues were flagged, the lack of detailed failure reports in 2024-05-30 means verifying the condition of brake discs, calipers, and suspension components in person is advisable. The absence of structural or emissions-related advisories is positive, but the vehicle’s maintenance history does not conclusively confirm its mechanical integrity beyond the recorded tests.
