2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · AV64 AHP

Roadworthiness stands as satisfactory; the most recent MOT on 17 February 2025 at 175,878 miles passed, confirming the vehicle meets the current legal requirements. The alternating pass/fail outcome over the last five examinations – pass in February 2025, fail in November 2024, pass in November 2023, fail in November 2023, pass in October 2022 – indicates a generally stable compliance record with occasional lapses rather than a progressive deterioration. Mileage has accumulated at a high rate for a twelve‑year‑old model. From October 2022 to November 2023 the odometer rose from 143,368 to 160,283 miles, an increase of roughly 16,900 miles in thirteen months. Between November 2023 and February 2025 the figure climbed to 175,878 miles, adding about 15,600 miles over twenty‑five months. This consistent high mileage, averaging around 14,600 miles per year, suggests prolonged use and likely accelerated wear on consumable components such as tyres, brake pads and suspension bushes. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the braking system, inspecting discs and pads for thickness and uneven wear, and checking for any binding calipers. Examination of the suspension should include a feel for play in the front and rear bushes and coil springs, as high mileage can precipitate fatigue. Tyre tread depth and uniformity must be verified, and a visual survey for corrosion on wheel arches, chassis rails and exhaust components is advisable. While the MOT record shows no recorded defects, the absence of specific advisories does not replace a thorough in‑person assessment of these critical wear items.
