2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · R23 MAK

The 2014 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates an exceptionally clean roadworthiness status, anchored by a stable and unblemished maintenance trend across its recent history. In the most recent test on 03 June 2025 at an unspecified mileage, the vehicle initially recorded a failure before securing an immediate pass on the exact same day without any recorded defects. This pattern of consecutive clean passes extends backward through tests on 14 May 2024, 19 June 2023, and 09 June 2022, all of which yielded zero advisories or major defects. Such an unblemished record suggests the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a high standard, swiftly rectifying any procedural or minor issues that triggered the temporary June 2025 failure. With a recorded mileage of 95,530 miles on a vehicle roughly twelve years of age, the Qashqai averages approximately 7,961 miles per annum. This mileage accumulation sits directly within the national average for a diesel or petrol family crossover of this era, indicating neither excessive fleet-style pounding nor detrimental prolonged storage. The testing cadence remains consistent, occurring annually around the late spring and early summer months. The complete absence of recurring advisory items across five consecutive years of testing confirms that wear-and-tear items have been replaced proactively rather than left to accumulate on the MOT certificate. A physical inspection should nonetheless focus on the hidden mechanical and structural components that escape visual checks on standard test certificates. Buyers must thoroughly examine the suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs for signs of fatigue, alongside checking the condition of the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. Particular attention should be paid to the subframes and sills for structural rust, given the age of the vehicle. While the MOT history reveals no historic neglect or chronic component failure, verifying the service book and listening for suspension knocks during a road test remains essential to confirm this outwardly pristine record.
