Our Verdict
This 2013 Nissan Qashqai diesel presents
Given that this Qashqai has failed two of its three recorded MOT tests, a pre-purchase inspection is essential. The pattern of failures suggests attention to detail may have lapsed in recent maintenance — the loose wheel fixing at the 2026 test is a particular concern as it represents a safety-critical issue that should have been caught during routine servicing. Negotiate on the basis of upcoming work likely needed, including rear suspension components given the corroded coil spring advisory.
Check that any service history shows regular oil and filter changes at appropriate intervals for the 1.5 dCi engine, which is known to be sensitive to extended service intervals. Inspect the timing chain condition — this engine uses a timing chain rather than a belt, and replacement can be costly if neglected. Verify that the Diesel Particulate Filter has been used on regular longer runs, as urban-only driving can cause premature DPF issues.
The 1.5 dCi diesel Qashqai typically returns around 55-65 mpg in real-world driving, making it one of the more economical family SUVs. Road tax sits in a low bracket given the 1461cc engine and diesel CO2 emissions. Insurance is usually group 15-18 depending on trim, keeping premiums reasonable. However, at 140,103 miles, expect higher maintenance costs than for a lower-mileage example — timing chain, clutch, and turbo servicing are all possibilities on the horizon.
Based on the MOT failures recorded, pay particular attention to the rear suspension — the 2026 test flagged a corroded rear coil spring, and on a vehicle of this age and mileage, the front springs and shock absorbers should also be closely inspected for similar corrosion. Examine all wheel fixings and ensure the nearside front wheel was correctly re-torqued after the January 2026 failure. The 2024 headlamp failure on dipped beam should prompt a check of all bulbs, wiring, and the headlamp switch unit.
For the 1.5 dCi diesel specifically, listen for timing chain rattle on cold start, check for turbo whistle or excessive smoke, and scan for DPF-related fault codes. The model aggregate data identifies tyres, headlamps, and brake pads as the top failure reasons across 574,821 Qashqais analysed, so budget accordingly. Inspect all four tyres for even wear and check brake pad and disc condition thoroughly.
This white 2013 Nissan Qashqai with the 1.5-litre diesel engine has covered 140,103 miles across three recorded MOT tests since 2023, including two failures. The most recent test in January 2026 passed with a single advisory for corroded rear coil spring, following an earlier failure at the same test for the same issue plus a loose wheel fixing. The mileage of 140,103 miles over approximately 13 years of life works out to roughly 10,800 miles per year on average, which is above the Qashqai model average of 7,729.
The Nissan Qashqai has an average MOT pass rate of 79.5% across 574,821 vehicles analysed, with the most common failure reasons being tyres, headlamps, and brake pads — generally consumable items rather than structural defects.
