2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · WV64 HNB

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical age-related wear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 80,681 miles identified worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins. While these did not result in a failure at the time, they indicate that the front suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life due to material degradation. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 62,648 miles and September 2025 at 80,681 miles, the car covered 18,033 miles, suggesting steady and predictable usage. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the clean records from 2022 and 2023 indicate a period of time where the vehicle was not subjected to heavy mechanical stress or high-mileage demands. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to determine if the worn bushes have developed excessive play, which would affect steering precision and cause tyre wear. The MOT history also highlights a recurring issue with tyre perishing, with advisories in both 2021 and 2024. This suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, causing the rubber compound to dry and crack despite sufficient tread depth. Checking the sidewalls of all tyres for dry rot is essential here to ensure they are not structurally compromised.
