2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · NJ63 ABZ

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status, following an improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 June 2025 at 118,039 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical or compliance issues have been successfully rectified. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent clean-sheet results suggest the current owner is proactive in addressing faults identified by the MOT tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between July 2023 at 97,991 miles and June 2024 at 105,517 miles, the car covered 7,526 miles, which is slightly lower than the annual average. However, the mileage increased by 12,522 miles before the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which helps prevent the seal degradation and corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the record provided does not list the specific defect codes. Recurring failures followed by passes often point to issues with suspension bushes, brake components, or emission levels. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of structural integrity on the rear sills and subframe points is essential to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing. Inspecting the state of the shock absorbers and the condition of the brake discs will confirm if the mechanical stability seen in the recent MOT passes holds true.
