2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · BP14 NVR

The most recent MOT test on 2025-07-02 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 53,736 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past three tests, as all previous passes (2023, 2022, and the duplicate 2024 entry) also logged zero issues. The absence of recurring advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been kept in a consistent condition, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding, which are not always captured in a standard MOT. The testers’ failure to flag even minor concerns implies either diligent servicing or a vehicle that has not yet reached critical wear thresholds. The mileage progression reveals an unusually low annual average of approximately 4,478 miles, which is well below the typical 8,000–10,000 miles per year for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests is consistent at one year, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity—from 35,830 miles in 2022 to 46,536 in 2023, and then to 50,600 by mid-2024 before reaching 53,736 now. While this suggests light usage, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, which could accelerate deterioration in components like rubber seals, battery health, or fuel system integrity. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in this model at this mileage. The brakes, while not explicitly failed, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the disc surfaces—especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Corrosion checks should focus on wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as rust can compromise structural integrity without always being visible from the exterior. Finally, the fuel system and exhaust should be inspected for leaks or excessive emissions, as these are not always detected in a basic MOT but can indicate neglect over time.
