2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DN64 LWR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the MOT status is currently out of date. The most recent test on 10 August 2022 at 100,336 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an inexplicable failure just twelve miles prior. Since nearly four years have elapsed since this last inspection, the current mechanical condition of the vehicle cannot be verified, necessitating an immediate retest to determine the present state of safety-critical components. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. The record shows a significant gap of 13,471 miles between June 2020 and June 2021, followed by another increase of 13,067 miles in the following year leading up to the 2022 test. This suggests the car has seen regular, consistent use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the rubber components and prevents fluid degradation, despite the high mileage increasing the expected wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as the MOT history does not highlight specific recurring advisories that would indicate a chronic failure. Given the 100,000-mile milestone, a close look at the control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and corrosion on the brake discs is essential. Because the vehicle has operated without a recorded MOT for four years, the risk of undetected corrosion on the chassis or perished rubber hoses is significantly elevated, as these elements were not monitored since the 2022 pass.
