2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · FL12 DAW

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and consistently maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 2 June 2025 at 75,308 miles. The maintenance trend remains firmly stable, with no defects recorded across the entire available MOT history. This indicates a vehicle that has met minimum safety standards without requiring remedial work during its recent assessments. The absence of advisories or failures suggests routine servicing has kept critical systems compliant. Accumulating 75,308 miles over thirteen years equates to an annual average of roughly 5,793 miles, a notably low figure for its age. The mileage progression reveals a consistent pattern of light use rather than long-term standing or erratic accumulation. Between the June 2022 test at 56,505 miles and the May 2023 test at 62,713 miles, the vehicle covered 6,208 miles. It then traveled 6,537 miles by May 2024 at 69,250 miles, and a further 6,058 miles by the June 2025 test at 75,308 miles. This steady, low-mileage accumulation points to regular, short-journey usage rather than prolonged inactivity. Despite the clean MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from short trips and standing. Buyers should examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, a common issue when vehicles cover minimal distances and moisture evaporates slowly from the friction surfaces. Suspension bushes and coil springs require close scrutiny for perishing and corrosion, as light urban use can degrade rubber components without wearing them mechanically. The exhaust system and undercarriage should also be checked for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from moisture ingress and lack of heat cycling that typically burns off surface rust. Tyre condition demands attention; older rubber with low tread wear can still suffer from sidewall cracking and dry rot due to age.
