2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LN64 MKF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-18 at 128,982 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects. Previous tests from 2024-11-13 (120,164 miles) and 2023-10-24 (108,070 miles) also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a failed test on 2022-11-08 at 99,573 miles—recorded alongside a subsequent pass at the same mileage—suggests potential administrative inconsistency or unresolved issues. No defects were noted in any test, but the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm if it reflected a genuine mechanical concern. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,748 miles annually. The 29,409-mile increase between 2022-11-08 (99,573 miles) and 2025-10-18 (128,982 miles) occurred over 29 months, with gradual accumulation. Notable gaps include a 1,497-mile jump between 2022-11-08 and 2023-10-24, and a 12,094-mile rise from 2023-10-24 to 2024-11-13. These patterns suggest variable usage but no alarming spikes. The absence of recurring defects in MOT records implies consistent upkeep, though the 2022 failure raises questions about potential overlooked issues. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often manifest gradually. Structural integrity, especially in rust-prone areas like sills or underbody panels, requires visual assessment. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the 2022 failure and lack of detailed defect records mean a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition beyond recorded data.
