2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CV14 NLL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent MOT test conducted on July 24, 2025, at 65,900 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has maintained its mechanical and structural integrity without the emergence of recurring faults or deferred repairs during the annual testing period. The mileage profile is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 37,520 miles and July 2025 at 65,900 miles, the car covered 28,380 miles, showing consistent but infrequent usage patterns. This pattern suggests local driving rather than long-distance commuting. While low mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and interior, it can occasionally lead to age-related degradation of rubber components or brake oxidation due to lack of vigorous mechanical exercise. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected by low-mileage use. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as these materials dry out over time regardless of distance travelled. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, which often occurs on vehicles that sit for extended periods. Although the record shows no structural corrosion issues, a manual inspection of the underbody and rear wish arm mounting points remains advisable to check for early surface rust that has not yet reached the threshold of an MOT failure.
