2013 NISSAN QASHQAI1.6L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-20 at 84,316 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior test on 2026-03-18 at 84,266 miles showed a failure without recorded issues. This suggests either a procedural error or a minor fault resolved between tests. Previous MOTs from 2025-03-21 (75,170 miles) and 2024-04-13 (67,024 miles) also passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. No significant mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the recorded data. The vehicle’s mileage of 84,316 miles at 13 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 6,486 miles, typical for its age. A notable jump from 65,237 miles (2023-07-10) to 67,024 miles (2024-04-13) suggests a period of light use, while the subsequent rise to 75,170 miles (2025-03-21) and 84,316 miles (2026-03-20) reflects increased annual mileage. This pattern implies potential wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no defects were flagged. The MOT history lacks gaps, indicating consistent testing but offering no insight into non-MOT-related maintenance. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage can accelerate such wear. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for warping or binding, particularly given the recent high-mileage phase. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for corrosion, a common issue in older vehicles. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the unexplained failure in March 2026 warrants verification that all issues were resolved before purchase. No structural rust or major mechanical defects are indicated, but a pre-purchase inspection is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
