2013 NISSAN QASHQAI1.6L Petrol

The most recent 2026‑03‑31 test, recorded at 130,194 miles, produced a pass followed by a fail on the same day, which signals an unstable maintenance trend despite the absence of listed defects. The vehicle’s 13‑year history shows a steady increase from 117,647 miles in March 2024 to 124,408 miles a year later, then to 130,157 miles by March 2026, a rise of roughly 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 13‑year‑old model; the final 37‑mile increment recorded on 31 March 2026 suggests the car has been idle since the previous test. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that commonly generate advisory notes in similar Qashqai models: inspect the rear and front suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that the brake calipers move freely and that the discs are not excessively worn or scored, and examine the exhaust system and chassis for any signs of structural rust or corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and subframe. Given the contradictory test outcomes and the vehicle’s age, a thorough in‑person inspection of the braking system, suspension geometry, and any hidden corrosion is essential before purchase, as the record does not reveal any corrective work that might have addressed underlying faults.
