2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · MH64 AAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last four years. The most recent test on 27 June 2025 at 48,920 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue was addressed immediately before the retest, as the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety requirements without outstanding mechanical faults. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Between August 2022 at 29,721 miles and June 2025 at 48,920 miles, the car covered only 19,199 miles over three years. The jump of 5,142 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a very steady, short-distance usage pattern. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can introduce specific risks such as potential dry rot in rubber components or seized brake calipers. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or structural faults, an inspection should focus on the effects of age rather than mileage. A buyer must check for cracks in suspension bushes and perished hoses, which often degrade over time regardless of distance driven. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from rust buildup on the rotors. Additionally, verifying the underside for early-stage structural corrosion is advisable to ensure the low-mile integrity of the chassis remains intact despite its age.
