2013 NISSAN QASHQAI1.5L Diesel

In the 2 March 2026 MOT at 136,216 miles the Qashqai passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthy status. Maintenance trend stays stable across the sparse record. The only irregularities are the 1 May 2025 and 24 January 2023 tests, both failed at 133,201 and 98,919 miles respectively yet logged no defects, before immediate passes on 6 May 2025 and 27 January 2023 at identical mileages. This pairing indicates non-mechanical or administrative rejections rather than worsening condition. From the January 2023 pass at 98,919 miles to the May 2025 pass at 133,201 miles the odometer advanced 34,282 miles over 28 months, equating to roughly 14,700 miles per year and exceeding the lifetime average of 10,478. Recent accumulation slowed, with just 3,015 miles added by the March 2026 test. The 2013 registration and 136,216 total miles reflect typical use for age, though the thin history of five entries limits insight into consumable replacement cycles. Despite zero advisories, a buyer must physically examine suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion given Qashqai-specific aging patterns at this mileage. The tester flagged nothing, but MOT pass does not certify component life beyond test day. The two zero-defect failures require DVSA clarification; they may stem from number plate or lighting presentation faults rather than structural integrity. Previous keepers displayed test compliance but left no recorded evidence of proactive mechanical care.
