2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · EX13 YAD

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by five consecutive passes and a total absence of failures since 2022. While the latest test on 18 July 2026 confirmed the vehicle remains roadworthy, a recurring pattern of advisories has developed concerning the rear tyres, which have been flagged as damaged, cracking, or perishing for two consecutive years. The recorded mileage of 72,704 miles is low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,593 miles per year. This usage pattern typically results in less mechanical wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension bushings than is found in higher-mileage counterparts. However, such low annual accumulation can correlate with the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the persistent tyre advisories. Inspection should focus specifically on the nearside and offside rear tyres to assess the extent of the perishing and sidewall cracking noted in the 2025 and 2026 tests. On a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any abnormal road noise or vibrations emanating from the rear of the vehicle, which can be symptomatic of tyres that have hardened or developed flat spots from prolonged standing. The absence of recorded defects related to the braking system, suspension, or structural integrity over the last five tests provides a baseline for the vehicle's mechanical state. The buyer should still ensure there is no pedal judder or steering pull during the test drive to confirm that the components not flagged in the DVSA records are functioning as intended.
