2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · VO63 BZN

The 2026‑05‑02 test at 127,807 miles resulted in a failure due to a non‑functional near‑side dipped‑beam headlamp and continued wear of the front outer track‑rod end dust cover and rear suspension pin or bush, indicating that the vehicle is presently not fully roadworthy. Repeated advisories on suspension components and lighting faults over the past two years show a stable pattern that is worsening rather than improving. With a current odometer reading of 127,807 miles and an age of approximately 13 years, the average annual mileage is 9,831 miles, which aligns with typical usage for this model. The interval from the 2025‑03‑28 test (116,260 miles) to the 2026‑05‑02 test (127,807 miles) adds 11,547 miles in just over a year, reflecting a period of more intensive use, while earlier gaps between 2024‑03‑05 (107,706 miles) and 2025‑03‑28 (116,260 miles) show a steady increase without major stagnation. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry, confirming the condition of track‑rod ends, ball joints, anti‑roll bar linkages and suspension bushes, and verify that all wheel fixings are securely fitted. The headlamp wiring and bulb assembly should be tested, the parking brake adjustment checked, and the condition of the brake discs and pads examined, given the historic wear notes. Any signs of structural rust or missing components, especially around the wheel arches, must also be assessed before purchase.
