2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PK64 GPJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in September 2025 with 88,395 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of significant mechanical neglect a year prior. While the 2024 test revealed multiple failures across the suspension and tyres, the subsequent clean pass indicates that the previous owner addressed these critical safety items and brought the vehicle back up to an acceptable standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,366 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 71,021 miles and the 2025 test at 88,395 miles, the car covered 17,374 miles, suggesting a steady and moderate usage profile. The low annual mileage explains the presence of perishing tyres and cracking rubber noted in 2024, as these issues often stem from the degradation of rubber components over time rather than solely from high-mileage wear. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and steering components. The September 2024 failure highlighted severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers on the lower suspension arms and damaged track rod end covers. Although these were likely replaced to pass the test, check for any signs of play or grease leakage in the joints which would indicate premature component failure. Given the history of worn tyres reaching the legal limit, the current age and condition of all tyres should also be verified for sidewall cracking to ensure they are not nearing the end of their structural life.
