2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · GU64 HTL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 9 September 2025 at 76,735 miles with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure for a worn offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. This indicates the issue was rectified promptly, and the overall maintenance trend appears stable, with no serious or recurring mechanical faults emerging across the test history. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,395 miles per year. The gap between the August 2023 and August 2024 tests saw the highest annual mileage increase, rising from 62,107 to 69,269 miles. No unusually long dormancy periods are evident, and the mileage progression remains linear and plausible. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front suspension components, particularly the offside front strut and wishbone assembly, given the repeated advisory history for tyres and suspension wear. The rear brake pads have been flagged as wearing thin in both 2021 and 2022, so verify current pad thickness and disc condition. Check the offside rear shock absorber for signs of oil leakage, as light misting was noted in 2024. Finally, examine all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, which may indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues requiring attention.
