2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DEN 409W

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in March 2026 at 42,929 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the car consistently passing tests without major failures over the last five years. The most recent inspection identified only minor defects regarding defective windscreen wiper blades, which are simple consumable items and do not indicate underlying mechanical neglect or a lack of attention to safety-critical systems. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Data from March 2022 to March 2026 shows a consistent and slow rate of accumulation, moving from 2,000 to 2,500 miles between annual tests. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to average-run examples, though low mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake caliper seizing if the vehicle sits for extended periods between uses. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres and suspension geometry, as the March 2025 test flagged a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit on the edge. This suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven wear that should be verified to ensure the vehicle tracks straight. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for surface rust corrosion on the brake discs and cracks in the suspension bushings, as these parts often age faster than mileage in vehicles that are not frequently driven.
