2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · EA63 ABF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-18 at 118,898 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the history shows two prior failures in 2024 and 2023, both at similar mileages (101,770–87,326 miles), though no specific defects were logged. While the latest test suggests the car is currently compliant, the recurring failures without recorded issues raise questions about potential unresolved mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of defect details limits definitive conclusions but warrants caution. The vehicle’s mileage of 118,898 miles over 13 years averages 9,146 miles annually, aligning with typical usage. Notably, a sharp increase from 87,326 miles (2023) to 101,772 miles (2024) suggests accelerated usage, potentially stressing components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests (11 months) is longer than the average annual mileage, which could indicate periods of reduced use or infrequent maintenance. The MOT record lacks detailed defect data, making it difficult to assess underlying trends. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common issues in this model, and check for corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system. The rear brakes should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as recurring failures may hint at unresolved alignment or brake component issues. Additionally, verifying the condition of the exhaust emissions system and structural integrity is critical, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of defect details in past tests underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic.
