2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · KR14 ABX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 89,939 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed the test just five days before the scheduled appointment but passed shortly thereafter. This suggests the previous owner only addressed specific faults once they were flagged by the tester to ensure legal compliance, rather than performing preventative maintenance ahead of the annual inspection. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 74,796 miles and the 2025 test at 82,616 miles, the car covered 7,820 miles. Another 7,323 miles were recorded in the following year leading up to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular usage patterns, which is generally beneficial for the mechanical health of the drivetrain and suspension components compared to vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. While the most recent tests recorded no defects, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of common Qashqai wear-related areas. Focus on the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber, as these often degrade at this mileage bracket. Given the history of last-minute repairs, verify the brake system for uneven wear or binding calipers and ensure the tyres are not thinning prematurely. The record does not highlight structural corrosion, but checking the underbody for rust on the mounting points remains necessary for a vehicle of this age to ensure long-term structural integrity.
