2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · GU64 MPX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in August 2025. The maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs following a significant failure in 2022 to more preventative monitoring. While the 2025 test identified thinning material on both front and rear brake discs, the vehicle met the minimum standard without failure, suggesting that the current owner is now addressing components as they approach wear limits rather than allowing them to reach failure. At 80,359 miles, the Qashqai has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle. There is a notable gap in mileage between April 2022 and February 2024, where only 833 miles were recorded over nearly twenty months. However, the subsequent increase of 5,397 miles between February 2024 and August 2025 indicates a return to regular driving patterns, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components. A buyer should inspect the front suspension closely to ensure the repairs made after the April 2022 failure of the nearside front shock absorber and the broken offside rear coil spring remain effective. The 2024 advisory regarding an offside front inner tyre worn to the edge often points to an alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing, both of which should be verified to prevent premature future tyre wear. The braking system requires specific attention during a physical inspection. Given the 2022 failure for pads below the 1.5mm limit and the 2025 note regarding worn discs, the brake hardware is at a high-mileage where components are likely nearing the end of their service life. A physical check of the remaining pad thickness and an inspection for any binding calipers is necessary to determine if immediate replacement is required.
