2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · GL64 DLE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record indicates a history of reactive maintenance rather than preventative servicing. The most recent test in November 2021 at 74,946 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for an ineffective windscreen wiper and an obstructed seat belt de-test area. Since that entry, there is no recorded MOT data for nearly five years, meaning the vehicle is currently out of test or has not been inspected under the current DVSA framework. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-average annual usage, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. A 16,531-mile interval occurred between October 2019 (51,485 miles) and November 2021 (74,946 miles), showing steady usage intervals. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the five-year gap in testing records since 2021 raises concerns regarding potential component degradation, rubber-part perish, and fluid oxidation that occurs regardless of distance driven. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the front braking system, as the record flagged thin front brake pads at 51,485 miles. Given the elapsed time since the last inspection, the discs should be checked for surface pitting or corrosion resulting from sitting stationary. The wiper assembly and washer system require immediate verification as these were previous points of failure. Because the vehicle has not undergone an official test for several years, a thorough physical check of the suspension bushes and structural integrity is essential to ensure no significant corrosion has developed during the undocumented period of ownership.
