2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · RE14 WCD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent history indicates a minor inconsistency in testing. The test on 4 July 2024 at 104,787 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, despite a pass just five days prior at 104,748 miles. This suggests a last-minute mechanical failure or an administrative error during the testing process rather than a deteriorating trend. Outside of this anomaly, the vehicle has maintained a clean record with no advisories for several years. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles annually. Between September 2021 at 81,679 miles and October 2022 at 93,276 miles, the car covered over 11,000 miles, followed by another similar interval of 11,500 miles leading to the 2024 tests. This steady accumulation suggests regular use without long periods of standing, which generally helps to keep mechanical components like seals and brake calipers from seizing. Given that the MOT record shows no recurring advisories for suspension bushes, exhaust corrosion, or brake components, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear items common to 100,000 miles. A buyer should verify the condition of the coil springs for fractures and check for rubber fraying on the suspension arms. The lack of recorded structural rust is promising, but a manual check of the sills and chassis for surface corrosion remains standard practice for this age.
