2014 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DCI 1.5L Diesel · JM03 ADA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted on 11 October 2021 at 55,948 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car was in a sound mechanical state at that time. This result suggests a consistent level of maintenance where no structural or mechanical failures were identified during the final testing period. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,662 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between the 2017 test at 25,941 miles and the 2019 test at 32,004 miles, representing an increase of only 6,000 miles over two years. Since the 2019 inspection, the vehicle has covered another 23,844 miles. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the likelihood of age-related rubber-based degradation. Given the clean records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas associated with low-mileage usage. This includes checking for perished or cracked way bushes, split rubber boots, and dry seals that occur due to age rather than distance travelled. The braking system should be evaluated for surface corrosion or binding calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from seized components. The single failure recorded in September 2018 at 32,004 miles was rectified immediately, as evidenced by the pass that same day, but the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified to ensure no rust has developed in the years since.
