2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · LP63 UPS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of inconsistency. The most recent MOT test on 26 November 2025 at 55,632 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum standards. While a failure was recorded on 29 November 2024 at 51,452 miles, the immediate re-test just four days later at 51,463 miles suggests a specific, rectifyable fault was addressed quickly rather than representing a chronic mechanical decline. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage trend, with the car travelling from 41,111 miles in November 2022 to 55,632 miles by late 2025. This low-frequency usage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or fluid oxidation if the vehicle sits stationary. The 4,169 miles driven between November 2024 and November 2025 indicates the car remains in regular use. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than high-mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the coil springs, as these can perish over a decade regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and caliper seizing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rust during infrequent use. A thorough check of the chassis for hidden rust remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked any underlying environmental damage.
