2014 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Premium DIG-T 1.2L Petrol · KO14 ADX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑08‑14 at 74,017 miles with no recorded defects, following a failure just five days earlier at 73,992 miles. The rapid correction of the failure indicates the issue was addressed promptly, and the subsequent pass demonstrates an improving maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating condition. No persistent faults are evident in the latest test, confirming current roadworthiness. Mileage accumulation has slowed markedly in the last year, with only 759 miles added between the August 2024 test (73,258 mi) and the August 2025 test (74,017 mi). Earlier periods show higher annual increases, such as 5,166 mi between 2023 and 2024 and 9,579 mi over roughly eight months in 2022. This reduced mileage growth suggests lighter usage and less wear on consumables, brakes, suspension and drivetrain components. The short interval between the 2025 fail and pass also points to a quick remedial action rather than a long‑standing defect. A buyer should inspect the braking system for any residual binding or uneven pedal feel, examine suspension bushes and mounts for excessive play or corrosion, and check the exhaust for leaks or rust. Structural integrity around wheel arches, underbody panels and the chassis should be assessed for any signs of rust or damage, given the two earlier failures in 2019 and 2023 that carried no recorded defects but may have involved intermittent issues such as brake‑disc corrosion or suspension component wear. Verify that the recent repairs were properly documented and completed to the required standard. Overall the MOT history reflects a stable to improving maintenance pattern, low mileage accumulation and no ongoing defects. The primary areas for a physical inspection are the brakes, suspension, exhaust and chassis to ensure any past failures have been fully resolved and that the vehicle remains in a reliable condition.
