2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · ST14 JBV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows a stable maintenance trend following a period of mechanical intervention. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 64,712 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding an inoperative registration plate lamp. This follows a clean result in July 2024 at 62,030 miles, indicating that the mechanical failures identified in the previous year were successfully addressed and rectified by the prior owner. At 64,712 miles, this Qashqai has significantly lower mileage than the national average, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a 2,682-mile interval between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests. While low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples, it can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the July 2024 failure at 61,985 miles highlighted multiple worn suspension arm bushes and a compromised ball joint dust cover. Although these were passed subsequently, the recurring nature of suspension wear suggests these components may be reaching the end of their service life. The 2024 record also noted pitted and scored front brake discs, so the hardware should be checked for uneven wear or thinning to ensure adequate performance. The presence of corrosion on under vehicle suspension components noted in July 2022 at 52,229 miles warrants a physical underbody inspection. While structural failures have been recorded, it is essential to verify that surface rust has not progressed into structural decay of the subframe or mounting points. Given the low mileage, the primary risks remain age-related degradation of rubber parts and corrosion rather than high-mile wear and tear.
