2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · DC13 AEJ

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 November 2025 at 79,637 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. Every pass and fail entry shows no defects recorded, so the vehicle carries no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults in the official data. The pattern is clean, though the repeated fail-pass pairs on consecutive days warrant scrutiny. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,126 miles, typical for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 58,860 miles at the 28 November 2023 test, rising to 70,022 miles on 18 November 2024 and 79,633 miles on 24 November 2025. That equates to about 11,000 miles between 2023 and 2024 and 9,600 miles in the following year, both modest and consistent with light private use. The dataset is sparse, covering only three test years, but each entry is defect-free. The back-to-back failures on 24 November 2025 and 18 November 2024, each followed by a pass the next day with no defects logged, suggest administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults. A tester cannot fail a vehicle with no defects recorded under standard DVSA procedure, so the buyer should verify the failure reasons with the test stations. This may reflect clerical error, late presentation, or a retest after a prior unrecorded rectification. In person, the buyer should confirm the absence of structural corrosion, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related fatigue, and inspect brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's standing periods between low-mileage years. Examine exhaust emissions and tyre condition, as thirteen years of service invites consumable degradation even without MOT-flagged faults. The clean record implies reasonable upkeep, but a physical inspection remains essential.
