2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · AE64 WYA

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of neglecting minor consumable items. The most recent test in July 2025 at 83,196 miles passed without failures, yet it flagged cuts on all four tyres. While these did not meet the failure threshold, the recurring nature of tyre damage across multiple years suggests an owner who only addresses issues when legally required rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 56,127 miles and July 2025 at 83,196 miles, the car covered roughly 27,000 miles, indicating a steady and moderate usage pattern. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of stagnation that would stress components, though the low mileage relative to the age means rubber components such as bushings and wiper blades may be age-related despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and alignment, as the 2022 advisory for an offside front tyre worn on the edge indicates potential tracking issues or uneven suspension wear. The repeated reports of smearing wipers and multiple windscreen chips across several years further reinforce a lack of attention to basic vehicle upkeep. Given the cuts noted on all tyres in the 2025 test, a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls is essential to ensure no structural integrity has been compromised by kerbing or road debris.
