2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · WJ13 AED

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its 2026-01-29 MOT at 122,425 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2026-01-28 at 122,424 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being noted, raising questions about potential technical anomalies or administrative errors. The trend from 2024 to 2026 shows consistent MOT compliance, with no recurring mechanical issues flagged in the recorded tests. The absence of defects in the latest assessment suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though the abrupt failure prior to the pass warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 122,425 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 9,417 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 12-month absence between 2024-02-02 (108,793 miles) and 2025-02-05 (115,049 miles), during which the mileage increased by 6,256 miles. This suggests intermittent use or periods of reduced activity, which could affect component wear. The sharp jump to 122,425 miles between 2025 and 2026 implies increased usage, potentially accelerating wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though no such issues were recorded. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests does not preclude the need for a detailed check of brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. Structural integrity should be verified, focusing on underbody corrosion and body panel seams, as these are common issues in older vehicles. Additionally, a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the exhaust system’s condition, as emissions compliance in older models can degrade over time.
