2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · B8 TLE

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with no recorded failures or advisories across the visible MOT history. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 69,284 miles returned a clean pass with no defects noted. This consistency suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard sufficient to meet minimum regulatory requirements without recurring issues in braking, steering, or lighting systems. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,774 miles per year. The data shows a steady, gradual increase in distance covered, moving from 60,270 miles in March 2022 to 69,284 miles in March 2026. This pattern indicates regular, light usage rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber components often found on low-mileage cars that sit idle. Because the MOT record is entirely clean, there are no specific mechanical trends to flag from previous inspections. However, the low annual mileage means the vehicle has not been subjected to the heavy wear typically seen in high-mileage commuters. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components can suffer from age-related degradation regardless of distance travelled. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or brake discs is a positive indicator of the vehicle's structural integrity and stopping performance. Given the low mileage, a technician should verify that the service intervals have been met, as the lack of MOT failures does not substitute for regular oil changes and fluid maintenance. Focus the physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and wiper blades to ensure they meet current legal standards.
