2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · NK63 YLT

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the December 2025 test at 61,311 miles; the tester recorded a minor oil leak, a damaged off‑side front track‑rod end dust cover, and front tyre wear approaching the legal limit, but all were classified as advisories, allowing the MOT to pass. Over the past decade the record shows a consistent pattern of passing results with only intermittent, low‑severity advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. Mileage has risen from 14,471 miles in December 2016 to 61,311 miles in December 2025, averaging roughly 5,100 miles per year – well below the typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. The increments between tests are regular and modest (e.g., 5,600 miles between the 2018 and 2019 tests, 4,500 miles between the 2021‑01 and 2021‑12 tests), suggesting no periods of intensive use or prolonged storage that would obscure wear patterns. The low overall mileage supports the view that consumable components are likely to be in reasonable condition, though the record does reveal specific wear points. A prospective buyer should verify the source of the oil leak noted in the latest test and confirm that the front track‑rod end dust cover is securely fitted and free of corrosion. Front tyre tread should be measured on‑site, especially the off‑side tyre that was flagged as close to the legal limit; sidewall integrity must also be inspected for any cracking. Although brake lining wear was only advisory in 2018, a visual check of current pad thickness and disc condition is prudent. The rear heat‑shield reported as loose in 2022 should be examined for secure mounting, and the upper engine‑mount rubber identified as worn in 2021 warrants confirmation that it has been replaced or remains functional. Finally, the wiper performance failures from 2018, though resolved, merit a quick test to ensure effective clearing in rain. Addressing these points will give a clear picture of any lingering mechanical concerns.
