2014 NISSAN QASHQAI1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 March 2026 at 60,733 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in the previous years, suggesting that the current ownership has maintained a proactive approach to addressing mechanical issues before they escalate into failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between August 2023 (36,819 miles) and April 2025 (47,697 miles), covering over 10,000 miles in roughly twenty months. However, the usage has since returned to a lower cadence, with only 13,036 miles covered in the fourteen months leading up to the latest test. The single failure on 30 July 2024 at 43,979 miles just two miles before a successful pass suggests a minor rectified issue that was addressed immediately rather than a chronic mechanical fault. Given the low annual mileage, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade through age rather than wear and tear. Check the rubber components such as suspension bushes and split boots for cracking or dry rot, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. Examine the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as low-use cars are prone to rust on the rotors. The absence of structural advisories in the history is a positive sign, but a manual check of the sills and rear mounting points remains necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed over the vehicle's lifespan.
