2013 NISSAN QASHQAI1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on 11 November 2025 at 44,083 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one mile prior at 44,082 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative or sensor-related failure that was immediately rectified, as the subsequent test showed a clean sheet with no advisories or mechanical faults recorded. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Data from the November 2022 test at 34,783 miles through the November 2024 test at 40,978 miles shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with roughly 3,000 to 3,200 miles covered annually annually. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between tests and low annual totals indicate risks associated with infrequent use or long-term storage, such as the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from low-mileage neglect rather than mechanical wear and tear. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and seized calipers, as these often bind when a vehicle sits for extended periods. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or perished perished, as rubber ages over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust is also necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental damage.
