2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · EF13 LKC

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 August 2025 at 96,655 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 6 August 2024 at 92,956 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared two consecutive annual examinations without advisories or faults. Recorded mileage sits at 96,655 against a 13-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,435 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the 11 August 2023 pass at 87,984 miles and the 6 August 2024 pass at 92,956 miles shows only 4,972 miles covered, then 3,699 miles to the 2025 test, indicating light recent use. The August 2024 and August 2023 records each show a fail immediately followed by a pass on the next day at near-identical mileage, yet the DVSA entries list no defects for those failures, suggesting administrative or presentation anomalies rather than mechanical rejection. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across the visible history, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as MOT cleanliness at lower annual mileage can mask standing-water rust if the car spent periods idle. A check of brake disc thickness, suspension bushes, and coil springs remains prudent given the vehicle's age. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, though the same-day fail-pass pairs in 2023 and 2024 warrant a request for the original test certificates to confirm no suppressed faults. No recurring mechanical trend is evident from the supplied data.
