2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BB03 AHB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection. While the record indicates a test on 23 September 2025 at 94,713 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, it shows a prior failure on the same day. This suggests a specific fault was identified and immediately rectified to secure the passing grade. Since that point, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisory notes or failures in the subsequent tests, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per annum. Between the October 2022 test at 75,821 miles and the February 2024 test at 84,420 miles, the car covered roughly 8,600 miles, aligning with typical usage patterns. The jump of 10,293 miles between February 2024 and September 2025 shows a steady rate of travel. This low-annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples of the same era. Given the lack of advisories in the recent history, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that MOT tests do not capture. Buyers should check the condition of the rubber suspension components and control arms for cracking, as these can perish over a decade regardless of mileage. The brake discs should also be examined for surface corrosion or thinning, as low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from seized calipers. Furthermore, checking the integrity of the chassis for hidden corrosion is essential to ensure that no structural rust has developed in the sills or wheel arches.
