2013 NISSAN S3 QUATTRO3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile, demonstrating a consistently clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2024 at 109,366 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows similar clean results from the 2023 and 2021 tests, indicating that the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure or safety violations. At approximately 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 109,366 miles represents an annual average of roughly 8,400 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this era. There is a logical progression in mileage between tests, notably the 8,236 miles driven between November 2021 and November 2023, and another 2,596 miles leading into the 2024 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has artwork used consistently, which is often beneficial for preventing seals and mechanical components from seizing during inactivity. While the MOT history is devoid of recorded faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to natural wear at this age and mileage. Given the age, a thorough check of the structural integrity is required, specifically looking for corrosion on the sills and underbody where rust may begin to manifest. Additionally, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines should be examined for signs of perished rubber or leaks, as these are not always flagged during an MOT test until they reach a state of failure.
