NISSAN QASHQAI2014 · 1.5L Diesel

The 2014 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 5 September 2025 at 81,355 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and prior annual examinations returned passes with no advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns over the past four years. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,780 miles per year against the 81,355 miles recorded. The records show 61,709 miles on 25 August 2022, rising to 72,570 by 25 August 2023, then 74,240 on 29 August 2024, and 81,355 at the September 2025 tests. That reflects steady, light use with no abrupt jumps or prolonged standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse in fault terms, listing only a failed test on 3 September 2025 with no defects recorded before a pass two days later, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory capture in the MOT record. The clean history offers no flagged corrosion or exhaust emission issues, yet twelve years of service can conceal undertray rust or perished rubber that testers did not note. Verify the reason for the 3 September 2025 failure with the test centre to rule out a latent structural or lighting fault missed on the subsequent pass.
