2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · FJ13 WGA

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 January 2026 at 78,081 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 24 January 2025 at 70,637 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 22 January 2025 at the same 70,637 miles, where the DVSA system logged no defects, suggesting an administrative or data-recording issue rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the file. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 13-year-old vehicle. The record shows 54,859 miles at the 27 September 2022 test, rising to 63,716 miles by 16 October 2023, then 70,637 miles in January 2025, and 78,081 miles in January 2026. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. The sparse but clean history implies the previous keeper carried out basic annual servicing and avoided letting consumables such as tyres or wiper blades reach failure point. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished advisory list. The absence of recorded advisories means worn coil springs, binding calipers, or early structural rust may simply have escaped notation rather than being confirmed absent. Given the vehicle's age, scrutinise subframe corrosion, suspension arm bushes, and brake caliper operation at the current 78,081 miles. The two-day fail-pass sequence in January 2025 warrants a V5C and test certificate check to confirm no concealed repair work took place. Otherwise the DVSA data supports a low-risk purchase for a vehicle of this age and mileage, provided an independent pre-sale inspection validates the structural integrity and mechanical condition.
