2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · YH65 GTF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passing its annual inspections. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 126,398 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. While the record shows instances of deferred maintenance and minor failures, the lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between October 2020 and September 2021, where the car covered nearly 10,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the accumulation has returned to a steady rate of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles annually. This regular usage suggests typical motorway operation, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and components compared to vehicles that suffer long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components given the recurring issues. The 2021 test flagged thin brake pads on both rear wheels, and the 2024 test noted a rusty offside rear brake back plate. While the 2025 test passed without defects, a physical inspection should check for binding calipers or uneven wear to ensure the rust has not progressed. Additionally, the history of tyre damage and failed bulbs in 2021 warrants a thorough check of the current tyre sidewalls and wiper blades for structural integrity.
