2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PL63 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection without any defects. The test on 13 October 2025 at 139,413 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded faults, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical requirements to ensure compliance, as the vehicle has maintained a clean-record trend for the last two successful annual tests. The mileage progression is consistent with a typical twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. Between October 2023 at 108,165 miles and October 2024 at 125,197 miles, the car covered 17,032 miles, indicating a period of higher-than-average usage. The subsequent interval saw 14,216 miles covered, returning to a standard range. This regular usage suggests consistent operation, which often helps prevent component issues like seizing or excessive corrosion caused to long periods of inactivity. While the current record is clean, the recurring failures in October 2023 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle is prone to specific defects that require attention just before the test. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on Qashqais of this mileage. Given the age, it is also necessary to check the condition of the brake discs and the integrity of the exhaust system for structural rust to ensure no hidden degradation is developing that has not yet flagged by the tester.
