2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · SM64 ABV

The 2014 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-06-11 at 55,936 miles. The vehicle has consistently passed inspections since 2022, with no recurring issues or advisories. The lack of recorded faults across multiple tests suggests the owner maintained the car to a satisfactory standard, though the absence of detailed technical notes limits insight into specific component conditions. Mileage progression reveals a low annual average of 4,661 miles, below typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps include a 237-mile increase between 2024-03-18 (47,005 miles) and 2024-06-24 (47,242 miles), spanning three months, and a 9,259-mile rise from 2023-03-22 (37,746 miles) to 2024-03-18 (47,005 miles). These fluctuations may indicate periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on seals, fluids, and suspension components. The vehicle’s low mileage, while suggesting lighter use, also raises potential concerns about long-term storage effects, such as corrosion or dry-rotting rubber parts. A buyer should inspect for signs of rust, particularly in underbody areas and chassis seams, given the car’s age and possible exposure to moisture. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant scrutiny, as low mileage can mask wear from infrequent use. The absence of exhaust emissions or structural integrity advisories in the record is reassuring, but a physical check of the exhaust system and body panels is recommended to confirm no hidden damage. Overall, the MOT history reflects a mechanically sound vehicle, though its maintenance patterns suggest a need for thorough pre-purchase evaluation.
