Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 June 2025 at 111,763 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record shows two anomalous fails on 6 June 2025 and 15 June 2024 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, both citing no recorded defects. Such paired fail-and-pass entries on the same day and mileage suggest administrative rejections or documentation errors rather than mechanical faults, but the pattern warrants scrutiny of the test certificates. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,600 miles, in line with typical use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 95,141 miles at the June 2023 test to 103,931 miles in June 2024, then to 111,763 miles by June 2025, reflecting steady circa 8,000-mile yearly accumulation with no standing gaps or sudden spikes. The sparse history shows clean passes aside from the two defect-free fails, implying no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion were raised across the visible period. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory data in the record. The brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions systems carry no flagged concerns, yet thirteen years of service can mask worn suspension components not captured by a clean MOT. Verify the rationale behind the 2024 and 2025 same-day fail entries with DVSA to confirm no suppressed mechanical rejection occurred before purchase.
