2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · YF64 AEC

The most recent MOT test on 21 May 2025 at 95,701 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that time. The accompanying fail entry on the same date with no defects is anomalous but does not indicate any mechanical or structural issues. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, as every test over the past three years has returned a clean sheet with no advisories or failures. The recorded mileage of 95,701 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of 7,975 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. However, the annual mileage between tests has been notably low: from June 2023 to June 2024 the car covered only 1,224 miles, and from June 2024 to May 2025 it added 1,029 miles. This pattern suggests infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues such as brake binding, tyre flat-spotting, or moisture accumulation in the engine oil. With no defects or advisories in the MOT history, there are no recurring problems to highlight. Nevertheless, a thorough pre-purchase inspection should focus on components prone to age-related deterioration. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, inspect brake discs for lipping and pads for wear, and examine the underbody for structural rust. The low annual mileage also warrants a review of service records to ensure fluids and filters were changed appropriately despite limited use.
