2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · BT14 FCL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 51,461 miles passed, it followed a failure involving critical safety and emissions issues. The mechanical trend shows a pattern where components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure, evidenced by the transition from multiple failures in late 2024 to a pass exactly one year later. At 12 years old with 51,461 miles, this 2014 Nissan Qashai has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear. The data shows a cluster of activity between November 2024 and November 2025, where the vehicle covered roughly 3,200 miles. This low interval suggests the car may have sat stationary for long periods, which can contribute to the exhaust emissions issues and brake corrosion noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The November 2024 test flagged a worn offside front Macpherson strut bush and play in the top mount, while the 2025 test identified pitted front brake discs and thin linings. These recurring issues suggest the front-end assembly is due for attention. Furthermore, the oil leak noted in December 2024 requires visual verification to ensure it remains a minor weep rather than a developing leak that indicates gasket or engine seal failure. The repeated failures in late 2024 regarding carbon monoxide, lambda, and hydrocarbon levels indicate a persistent issue with the engine's fuel mixture or oxygen sensors. Although the vehicle passed emissions in 2025, the previous inability to complete the test due to high readings suggests the engine may not be operating optimally. Check for signs of structural rust on the chassis and exhaust system, as low-mileage vehicles from this era often suffer from corrosion if not driven regularly enough to keep the system dry.
