Here we have for sale with no reserve my mother and father in law’s cherished 2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.6 DCI Premier Limited Edition which they have owned from new, and which has always been maintained regardless of cost. This is the top of the range spec level - one level higher than the Tekna version. It is also the four wheel drive version.
With 138,100 miles on the odometer, and my in-laws being the only owners since they bought it new in January 2014, the car is in great condition. It has been used primarily for motorway/dual carriageway trips between Devon (where they live) and their holiday home in Cornwall with regular trips to London which they visit to see family.
Unlike other cars of this type and age, it has not suffered from the usual wear and tear seen in many family cars, as it has only carried grandchildren very occasionally. The interior is spotlessly clean. There are no rips or tears or signs of excessive wear to the interior. The bodywork is in excellent condition with no material defects to mention. All four alloy wheels have cosmetic kerbing to the outer rims. Mechanically the vehicle is free from any known faults although no warrant is given as this is a private sale.
The car has a Thule detachable tow bar fitted, which has only ever been used to mount a tow bar mounted bicycle carrier.
As you would expect from a 1 owner car, there is stacks of service history, repair receipts, mot certificates and original sales invoice etc. The invoices show the car has been serviced as per the Nissan service schedule since new. There are lots of reassuring invoices for recent works including:
- 4 new tyres in January 2024 £335
- new battery in April 2023 £243
- new starter motor in April 2023 £334
- oil service July 2023 £179
- clutch, slave cylinder, flywheel June 2022 £1659
- service plus discs and pads January 2022 £331
All in all this is going to be a fantastic and solid buy for the winning bidder. Very rare for cars of this age to have had a single owner since new.
I have described the car as accurately as I can but viewing is recommended, which can be arranged in Devon (Modbury) or Cornwall (Porthleven). You are bidding to buy, not to haggle after the auction has closed. My in laws will deal with vehicle hand over and signing over of the V5 once the auction is over.
If you would like to discuss any aspect of the car I would be happy to do so. My father in law would also be happy to discuss.
Happy bidding!
