2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · CU14 XRL

The 2014 Nissan Qashqai presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, anchored by the most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 92,371 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared that examination without advisories, indicating acceptable condition at the time of testing. Prior to this, the test history shows no mechanical faults flagged across the three most recent annual cycles, suggesting consistent baseline compliance rather than an improving or deteriorating pattern. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old vehicle, with the record showing 72,391 miles at the 12 September 2023 test, rising to 81,962 miles on 13 September 2024 and 92,371 miles by 19 September 2025. This equates to roughly 9,500 miles per year between 2023 and 2025, marginally above the lifetime average of 7,698 miles per year and reflecting steady private or light-use motoring rather than standing periods or rapid accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, with every entry recording no defects and no advisories, which limits deeper wear analysis but confirms no failed components were formally noted. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs on 13 September 2024 and 19 September 2025, both with no defects recorded, point to administrative re-tests rather than rectified faults, implying the seller or previous owner addressed paperwork or minor presentation issues without mechanical intervention. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisory data that would otherwise confirm these items were examined closely. Given the clean record, focus physical checks on structural integrity around sills and subframes where age-related rust commonly develops unseen, and verify the condition of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades that the MOT may not have flagged as worn within limits. The low-defect history implies reasonable upkeep, but twelve years of service warrants confirmation of drivetrain and steering joint condition beyond the scope of the supplied tests.
