2013 NISSAN QASHQAI1.5L Diesel

The vehicle appears to be in a stable roadworthiness condition following its most recent MOT pass on 18 July 2025. The inspection history shows a consistent pattern of passing the test after an initial failure on the same day, a trend that was also observed during the 11 July 2024 inspection at 108,374 miles. This suggests that minor, non-structural issues are being identified and rectified promptly to ensure compliance, rather than indicating a systemic mechanical failure or a decline in maintenance standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 13-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 115,306 miles, averaging approximately 8,870 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 98,627 miles in July 2023 to 108,374 miles in July 2024, and finally to 115,306 miles in July 2025. This steady increment suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which is generally positive for engine lubrication and component movement. Because the MOT records do not specify the exact nature of the failures in 2024 and 2025, a physical inspection is required to confirm what these recurring issues were. You should specifically check for signs of suspension wear, such as perished bushes or leaking dampers, and inspect the underside for any emerging corrosion on the exhaust or structural members. While the recent clean pass is encouraging, verifying the condition of consumables like brake discs, pads, and tyre tread depth remains essential.
