2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · RE64 REE

The 2014 Nissan Qashqai’s most recent MOT history, ending in October 2025, reveals a stable but unusual pattern: the vehicle passed twice on the same day at 115,507 miles, with no defects recorded in either test. This suggests the tester did not identify any critical failings at the time, though the duplicate entries imply either an administrative oversight or a minor procedural anomaly. Prior tests in September 2023 (104,386 miles), September 2024 (109,951 miles), and October 2022 (96,807 miles) all passed without failings, indicating no recurring mechanical issues were flagged by the MOT system. The absence of advisories or defects across five tests implies the vehicle has not been penalised for wear beyond standard expectations for its age and mileage. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 9,600 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests—covering 7,579 miles in just over a year—suggests either consistent driving or a period of higher mileage accumulation. The most notable observation is the identical mileage at the October 2025 tests, which could indicate the odometer was not reset or that the vehicle was stationary between tests. No extended periods of inactivity are evident from the data, and the mileage increments remain steady without abrupt spikes or drops that might signal neglect or irregular maintenance. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested by the MOT. Front and rear suspension bushes, particularly the track bar and ball joints, should be checked for excessive play or cracking, as these are common points of failure in this model. The brake system warrants close attention—while the MOT did not flag binding calipers or warped discs, the absence of advisories does not preclude gradual wear, especially given the mileage. Structural integrity is another concern; the chassis rails, subframe, and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has seen wet or salty conditions. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or rusted joints, as catalytic converter failures or exhaust damage are not always detected until they become severe.
