2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · DB56 EMM

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 99,824 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 23 January 2025 at 92,939 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the supplied history. Recorded mileage sits at 99,824 against a 13-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,679 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the June 2024 test at 91,747 miles and the January 2025 test at 92,939 miles shows only 1,192 miles covered in seven months, suggesting a period of light use. From January 2025 to January 2026 the car added 6,885 miles, a return to normal annual running. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no advisories or defects logged on any pass. The two failed tests on 3 June 2024 and 22 January 2025 both list no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. This pattern implies the previous owner addressed paperwork or retest timing rather than repair work. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion issues appear in the record at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisory data that would normally flag wear. Verify the brake calipers are free and the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The clean MOT trail does not exempt the car from age-related degradation invisible to the annual test.
