2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · AL13 WAD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 at 111,940 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retreats. In both November 2024 and November 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed just a few days later, suggesting that minor defects or consumable items are being rectified specifically to meet testing standards rather than reflecting deep-seated mechanical neglect. At 111,940 miles over 12 years, the Qashqai averages approximately 9,300 miles per annum. This figure reflects typical annual usage for a family vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 8,000 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and mechanical seals. While the recent records show no outstanding advisories, the buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear at this mileage threshold. Attention should be paid to the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber, as these often degrade on older Qashqais. Given the recurring immediate test failures, a thorough check of the braking system for binding calipers or uneven wear is necessary to ensure the recent repairs were not temporary fixes. Checking the structural integrity of the chassis for subframe corrosion is also vital to confirm that hidden rust has not begun to compromise the long-term viability of the vehicle.
