2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · EY64 ENX

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of emerging mechanical wear as the car ages. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 77,759 miles flagged advisories for pitted front inner brake discs and worn front suspension arm bushes. While the vehicle passed without failures, these entries indicate that components related to the braking system and suspension geometry are reaching the end of their operational life and will require proactive replacement. At a recorded mileage of 77,759 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light usage for a car of this age. The data shows a consistent annual testing pattern, and there are no significant gaps in service records to suggest long periods of stationary-related dry rot. The relatively clean records from 2022 and 2023 suggest a period of relative stability, though the appearance of defects in the latest test indicates that the vehicle is now susceptible to standard age-related degradation. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension for any lateral play in the arm bushes, as the 2025 advisory confirms wear is present. The recurring mentions of tyre perishing and cracking between 2021 and 2024 suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can embrittle rubber components regardless of low mileage. Additionally, the exhaust system was noted as rusty in 2021 should be examined for structural corrosion to ensure the surface rust has not progressed into a failure that would cause a future MOT rejection.
