2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · AD12 FUZ

The 2014 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 6 September 2025 at 40,503 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken sequence of satisfactory results since January 2023. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the recorded period. The vehicle has covered 40,503 miles in roughly twelve years, averaging about 3,375 miles per year. This is low for its age. Records show 33,808 miles on 14 January 2023, rising to 34,887 by 23 October 2023, then 37,625 on 20 September 2024 and 40,503 by September 2025. The annual increments stay under 3,000 miles, with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, showing only a failed entry on 20 September 2024 that carried no recorded defects and passed on the same day at identical mileage, implying an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a fault. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person despite the clear MOT history. Low mileage with long standing periods can allow corrosion to develop on structural members, subframes, and brake discs without triggering tester advisories. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for seizing or weeping. Check underneath for rust on sills, floor pan, and exhaust hangers. Verify tyre sidewalls and tread for perishing from age rather than wear. The absence of recorded faults does not remove the need for a physical inspection of consumables and structural integrity on a twelve-year-old low-use vehicle.
