2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DE57 ANC

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT passes between November 2021 and November 2025. The most recent inspection on 3 November 2025 at 85,272 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistent lack of flagged issues over a four-year period suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance and indicates that the vehicle has been kept in a reliable mechanical state by its previous keepers. The recorded mileage of 85,272 miles over thirteen years equates to an average of approximately 6,559 miles per annum, which is well within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. Annual progression is remarkably linear, with the car covering roughly 6,000 miles between each of the last five tests. This steady usage pattern avoids the risks associated with long-term storage, such as seized calipers or perished rubber components, and suggests the vehicle has remained in regular, active service throughout its life. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, a physical inspection should focus on components that often evade the scope of an annual test. You should prioritize checking the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these are common wear items on the Nissan Qashqai platform that may not trigger a failure until they are significantly degraded. Examine the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframe or sills, as the clean MOT record does not account for cosmetic or non-structural deterioration. Verify the operation of the electronic parking brake and ensure the clutch bite point remains consistent, as these mechanical systems are subject to wear that is not always captured by standard emissions or safety checks.
