2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · MW64 GGU

The 2014 Nissan Qashqai failed its most recent MOT on 2026-02-16 at 94,145 miles, flagging a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber and a tyre worn close to the legal limit; the record shows a worsening trend in front‑suspension integrity. Mileage has risen from 14,159 miles in August 2017 to 94,145 miles by February 2026, averaging about 7,845 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve‑year‑old vehicle; however, the interval between the 2021-10-21 test at 41,266 miles and the 2022-10-21 test at 54,959 miles reflects a jump of roughly 13,700 miles in a single year, and the jump to 94,145 miles in early 2026 indicates accelerated use. A buyer should focus on the front suspension components highlighted in the history: inspect the nearside front shock absorber for continued leakage, examine ball‑joint dust covers and bush wear, verify that the front track‑rod end and suspension arm ball joints show no excessive play, and check the condition of the front brake discs and pads for wear beyond the recorded thin pads; also assess tyre tread depth on all wheels and look for any corrosion on structural panels or under‑covers. Until the shock absorber leak is repaired and the tyre is replaced or regrooved, the vehicle will remain non‑compliant with road‑worthiness standards, and a prospective buyer should treat the MOT failures as a clear indication of pending remedial work.
