2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FRZ 5013

The roadworthiness status of this Nissan Qashqai is currently sound, backed by a stable maintenance trend culminating in a clean pass on 15 April 2025 at 107,786 miles. Notably, the vehicle underwent initial test failures on both 31 March 2025 and 29 March 2024 before securing immediate passes days later, though the DVSA database records no specific defect descriptions for these refusals. This pattern points toward minor administrative snags or rectifications resolved swiftly by the owner rather than chronic mechanical failures, given the absence of recurring structural or mechanical advisories throughout the documented three-year history. The odometer progression reveals steady, predictable usage that aligns closely with the age of the vehicle. Covering 97,501 miles by March 2023, the car accumulated roughly 5,505 miles leading to the March 2024 test at 103,006 miles, followed by another 4,780 miles up to the April 2025 inspection. This moderate annual mileage of under 6,000 miles in recent years indicates lighter deployment by previous keepers, reducing the likelihood of severe drivetrain fatigue compared to high-mileage fleet examples. Inspecting this vehicle in person requires focused scrutiny underneath the chassis and within the mechanical assemblies, despite the remarkably clean MOT record devoid of logged advisories. Buyers should thoroughly examine the condition of suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion common in thirteen-year-old crossovers. A physical check of the brake discs, pads, and calliper operation remains essential to ensure consumable components have not suffered from intermittent use or surface rust during periods of low annual mileage.
