2013 NISSAN QASHQAI1.5L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 22 October 2025 at 144,961 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The record shows a clean history over the last four years, with no advisories or major defects noted during the annual inspections. While the failure on 9 October 2025 at 144,953 miles appears anomalous due to the lack of recorded defects, the immediate pass eight days later suggests the issue was either administrative or a minor, easily rectified fault that did not indicate systemic mechanical neglect. Accumulating 144,961 miles over thirteen years results in an average of approximately 11,150 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression remains consistent across the provided timeline, increasing by roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually between 2022 and 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than suffering from the potential degradation associated with long-term storage or excessive high-intensity motorway work. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. High-mileage Nissan Qashqai models of this generation frequently experience accelerated wear on front suspension wishbone bushes, drop links, and rear coil springs, which may not always trigger a failure if they remain within tolerance. You should also check the brake discs for signs of pitting or uneven wear, as the MOT test only assesses performance and visible degradation. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, verify the condition of the subframe and sills for structural corrosion, as these areas are prone to oxidation that can remain hidden until it becomes a significant repair requirement.
