2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · VO13 AEN

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test, which was a pass on 2025-12-09 at 121,430 miles. The record shows no defects in the latest assessment, and prior tests from 2024 and 2023 also recorded passes with no issues. While two entries on 2025-12-09 list a failure and a pass for the same mileage, the absence of defect details suggests either a data inconsistency or a retest that resolved any prior issues. Overall, the maintenance trend indicates consistent compliance, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged in the documented history. The vehicle’s mileage of 121,430 miles over 13 years aligns with average annual usage of 9,341 miles, reflecting typical wear for its age. The MOT record shows gradual progression, with 104,076 miles in 2023 and 110,628 miles in 2024, followed by a jump to 121,430 miles by late 2025. This pattern suggests steady operation without prolonged inactivity, though the lack of detailed defect reports in earlier tests limits insight into potential wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. The absence of advisories or failures in recent years implies no critical deterioration. A buyer should verify the condition of the braking system, as repeated MOTs without defects may mask minor issues like binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion and checking the suspension for play or uneven wear is advisable, given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly if the car has been exposed to coastal environments or harsh weather. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the lack of detailed defect records means a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
