2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CP13 CYZ

This 2013 Nissan Qashqai has covered approximately 106,693 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. While the mileage is not excessive, the recent MOT history indicates a trend of increasing maintenance requirements, suggesting that the car is entering a phase where age-related wear is becoming more prominent. The vehicle’s condition appears to be worsening slightly. The most recent MOT in November 2025 resulted in an initial failure due to lighting defects and tyre wear, alongside a noted issue with the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint. This follows a pattern of recurring tyre wear issues seen in previous years, which may point to underlying suspension geometry or alignment problems that have not been fully addressed. Previous records highlight progressive wear on braking components, specifically pitted rear discs and thinning pads, as well as corrosion on the rear suspension arms. While these were not severe enough to cause a failure at the time, they are indicators of the natural degradation expected at this mileage. The consistent reports of tyre wear on the inner edges suggest that the suspension components, such as track rod ends and ball joints, have been under stress for some time. Given this history, the vehicle requires a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering systems. You should prioritize checking the front anti-roll bar and the condition of the rear suspension arms for any signs of worsening corrosion.
