2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · KO14 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent recorded data. Following an initial failure on 19 August 2022 at 94,730 miles, the car passed its test later that same day with no defects recorded. While no MOT records exist for the subsequent four years, the final clean result suggests the vehicle met all minimum safety and environmental standards at the time of its last inspection. The recorded mileage of 94,730 miles over a twelve-year period reflects an average usage of approximately 7,900 miles per annum. This figure is consistent with typical use for a car of this age, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity motorway stress. The lack of recent mileage data since the 2022 test indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to fluid degradation or seized components in older systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components most prone to wear during periods of inactivity or low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, attention must be paid to the condition of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and control arm bushings, which often perish over time regardless of mileage. Check for early signs of structural corrosion on the sills and underbody, as these are common areas for this generation of Qashqai. The braking system requires scrutiny for binding calipers or corroded discs, as low usage often allows surface rust to persist. Since the last MOT was conducted four years ago, the current state of the brake pads and tyre tread depth is unknown from the record. Verify that the tyres are not cracking in the sidewalls and ensure the vehicle remains safe for immediate use despite the gap in official testing history.
