2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LS64 TXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a reactive repair pattern rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in November 2025 at 91,034 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a nail in the offside rear tyre. This represents a stable trend in mechanical condition compared to previous years, although the record shows that components are only addressed once they reach a failure point or significant advisory threshold. At 91,034 miles over 12 years, the Qashqai averages approximately 7,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for an older family vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 6,000 miles driven between the October 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 5,900 miles in the final year. This regular interval of use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their inspection on the front suspension, as the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints were flagged with play across three consecutive testing periods between October 2022 and November 2024. While the 2024 pass suggests these were eventually replaced, the recurring nature of the fault indicates a vulnerability to wear in this area. Additionally, the front brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2023 at 80,199 miles, so the current thickness of the pads and discs should be verified to ensure they have been overhauled since. The 2022 failure regarding an insecure battery carrier requires a check that the housing is now properly secured to prevent movement and terminal damage. Given the lack of reports regarding structural corrosion or exhaust failures in the history, the primary concerns remain standard wear items on the suspension and brakes. The vehicle appears to have been maintained just enough to pass, but a buyer should exercise due diligence to ensure the recurring suspension issues were fully rectified to a professional standard.
