2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · AE63 UJF

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until May 2026, following a successful test on 3 May 2025. While the record shows a failure on the same date as the most recent pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor rectification rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The overall trend remains stable, as the vehicle has achieved four consecutive passes since May 2022 without any recorded advisories. The vehicle has covered 79,405 miles over its thirteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per annum. This accumulation is consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage patterns. The MOT data shows no significant gaps in testing, indicating the vehicle has remained in regular circulation throughout the provided period. The lack of recurring advisories over the past four years suggests that common consumable items have been replaced as required to meet regulatory standards. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that are not always captured by the MOT testing process. Despite the clean test history, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of degradation or fatigue. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns, as these components often reach the end of their service life regardless of recent pass certificates. Check the underside of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the subframes and sills, which can develop on vehicles of this age. Verify the condition of the exhaust system and ensure there are no signs of leaking seals or perished rubber mountings. While the MOT history is clear, it does not confirm the status of the engine timing chain or internal gearbox components, both of which should be evaluated through a cold start and a comprehensive road test. Buying score: 75. Risk level: Low.
