2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LS64 PVO

The 2014 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 6 August 2025 at 142,572 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health, following a pattern of consistent passes, indicates the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order with no immediate safety or structural concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is remarkably linear and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the August 2023 test at 119,958 miles and the August 2024 test at 133,303 miles, the car covered 13,345 miles. The following year, from August 2024 to August 2025, it added 9,269 miles. This slight reduction in annual mileage suggests a possible change in use pattern, but the overall average of roughly 11,881 miles per year remains well within the norm. The record shows no alarming gaps or sudden spikes that would indicate long periods of disuse or severe neglect. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection. The absence of advisories is positive, but it does not guarantee the absence of wear. At 142,572 miles, consumable components like tyres, brake discs, and pads will be nearing the end of their service life depending on driving style. A close inspection of the suspension, including drop links, bushes, and coil springs, is prudent, as these components degrade with age and mileage. The exhaust system and its mountings should be checked for corrosion, a common issue on vehicles of this age, particularly if used for short journeys. The underbody and sills demand particular attention. While no corrosion was flagged in the most recent test, a pre-purchase inspection should verify the structural integrity of the chassis and load-bearing points. The engine and transmission should be assessed for fluid leaks and smooth operation, as these high-mileage components are critical to long-term reliability. A test drive is essential to confirm the clutch, gearbox, and steering are free from excessive play or noise, ensuring the clean MOT record translates to a sound driving experience.
