2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · VK64 ADX

The 2014 Nissan Qashqai holds a roadworthy pass recorded on 14 October 2025 at 50,838 miles. Maintenance trend stays stable across five consecutive annual tests with zero defects or advisories from October 2022 to the latest examination. The tester failed the vehicle on 9 October 2025 at identical mileage yet logged no defects, then issued a pass five days later, signalling a procedural or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical deterioration. Annual testing commenced on 14 October 2022 at 38,176 miles and progressed to 43,744 miles by 2 October 2023, then 47,952 miles on 11 October 2024, and finally 50,838 miles in October 2025. This equates to roughly 4,200 miles covered per year, a low figure for a twelve year old vehicle and one that decreased slightly in the most recent period. The consistent October appointments show the keeper maintained statutory testing discipline, and the clean sheets suggest basic upkeep was not neglected, though sparse defect data limits deep insight into consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should inspect age sensitive components directly because MOT passes items within tolerance. Rubber suspension bushes, coil spring coatings, and brake hoses perish with time and limited use. Standing periods promote surface corrosion on structural underbody members and binding calipers from rusted discs. The clean advisory history does not remove the need to check exhaust emissions integrity, subframe rust, and tyre sidewall condition given low annual mileage. Verify the precise cause of the October 2025 failure via the DVSA record before purchase, as the missing defect entry leaves a gap in the mechanical narrative. Otherwise the vehicle's documented trajectory implies a lightly used, test compliant example requiring only routine age related scrutiny.
