2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · YR14 LXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass on 12 September 2025 at 57,527 miles. This most recent test recorded no defects or advisories, suggesting the car is in a healthy state. Previous years showed a pattern of minor consumable wear, but the absence of faults in the latest inspection indicates these issues were addressed. The mileage history contains a significant anomaly that requires scrutiny. The record shows 115,708 miles on 21 May 2022, yet the subsequent tests on 10 June 2023 and 8 June 2024 show a regression to 48,381 and 52,394 miles respectively. This discrepancy suggests either a clerical error during the 2022 test or a potential odometer rollback. Excluding the 2022 outlier, the car has averaged roughly 4,800 miles per year, which is low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. A buyer should focus on the rear tyres and braking system during a physical inspection. The tester flagged cracking and perishing on both rear tyres in June 2023 and June 2024, which often occurs when a vehicle sits idle for long periods. While the 2025 test is clear, checking the tyre date codes will confirm if they have been replaced or are simply aging. The 2022 record highlighted pitted front brake discs and a deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm bush. Although these were listed as advisories and not failures, the buyer should verify that the suspension bushings are supple and the brake discs remain smooth. Given the low usage and the recorded pitting, checking for seized calipers or rusted brake components is advisable to ensure the braking system operates efficiently.
