2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DG14 URX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in February 2026 at 106,367 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior involving multiple significant defects. The recurring nature of issues, particularly regarding tyres and braking components, suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical faults when they are imminent to cause an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between annual inspections. At 106,367 miles, this 12-year-old Qashqai has averaged approximately 8,864 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 5,400 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 5,600 miles covered in the following year. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, though the mileage places standard stress on wear items like the suspension and cooling system. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front shock absorbers, as both units showed light misting of oil in the February 2026 test, indicating the seals are beginning to fail. The record also notes a persistent oil leak in the engine area and a previous failure due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint. These areas should be checked for further degradation or movement. Furthermore, the front brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored, and while the rear pads were replaced after the 2026 failure, the overall braking system requires a thorough check to ensure the recurring history of worn components down to the legal limit has not masked deeper caliper issues.
