2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FJ14 VVP

The 2014 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 111,021 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on this test, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards without requiring any remedial work. While a failed test appears on the same date at 111,020 miles, the absence of recorded defects suggests an administrative anomaly or an abandoned test rather than a mechanical failure, especially given the immediate clean pass recorded moments later. The overall trajectory demonstrates a vehicle that has remained structurally and mechanically sound through its recent life. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 9,252 miles annually. Examining the chronological intervals reveals a consistent pattern of regular use. Between the August 2023 test at 82,286 miles and the August 2024 test at 95,763 miles, the Qashqai covered 13,477 miles, increasing to 15,258 miles over the following twelve months leading to the August 2025 test at 111,021 miles. This steady upward trajectory rules out prolonged periods of inactivity and confirms the vehicle has been driven consistently, preventing the seizing of components or perishing of rubber bushes often seen on low-mileage, stationary cars. Given the entirely defect-free MOT record, there are no recurring mechanical or structural faults demanding immediate scrutiny. However, a pre-purchase inspection should still focus on the typical wear items associated with a 111,000-mile Nissan Qashqai. Buyers should physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and examine the exhaust system for corrosion. The underbody and structural mounting points require a thorough check for rust, as the clean MOT record only reflects the condition on the specific test dates and does not guarantee ongoing structural integrity.
