2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · FP64 AFU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-26 at 60,288 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2023-07-13 (52,551 miles) and 2022-06-11 (44,606 miles) also passed, though an earlier 2022-06-11 test at the same mileage failed without recorded defects. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or unrecorded issues, but the absence of defects in subsequent tests implies no ongoing mechanical failures. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no escalating concerns in the last three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 60,288 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 5,024 miles annually, significantly lower than average. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber seals. Gaps between MOTs—such as the 13-month interval between 2021-06-03 and 2022-06-11—may indicate inconsistent maintenance. While the record lacks defects, low mileage combined with sporadic testing raises questions about the vehicle’s exposure to typical wear and corrosion. A buyer should inspect the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, given the low-mileage profile. Check suspension components for stiffness or uneven wear, as inactivity can degrade bushings and springs. Despite no recorded brake issues, verify the condition of brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, as prolonged storage may affect these parts. The absence of advisories in MOT records is positive, but the vehicle’s usage history warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical integrity.
