2013 NISSAN QASHQAI1.5L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-08 at 169,177 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, prior tests reveal inconsistencies: a fail on 2025-12-05 at 169,099 miles and another fail on 2024-12-09 at 154,782 miles, both without recorded defects. These results suggest potential technical issues that did not meet MOT criteria but may reflect minor faults requiring attention. The absence of defects in passing tests implies no critical failures, but the recurring fails without specifics warrant scrutiny of underlying mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 169,177 miles at 13 years old equates to approximately 13,014 miles annually, significantly higher than average for its age. A notable jump from 117,649 miles in 2023 to 154,782 miles in 2024—over 37,000 miles in 12 months—indicates rapid usage, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain parts. The sparse MOT data, with no defects recorded in passing tests, suggests either consistent maintenance or limited inspection depth. However, the lack of detailed fault reports in fails limits definitive conclusions about recurring issues. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these parts. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, given the vehicle’s usage pattern. Structural integrity and corrosion, particularly in areas prone to rust, warrant scrutiny, as MOT records do not explicitly address these. The absence of detailed fault logs in fails means physical inspection is critical to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition beyond recorded data.
