2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · FN63 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The July 2025 test at 90,024 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a brief failure in July 2024 at 80,426 miles, though the record shows no specific mechanical faults were identified during that failure, suggesting a minor non-compliance was rectified immediately. The absence of recurring advisories regarding suspension components, brake wear, or emissions over the last four years indicates a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,925 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 68,514 miles in September 2022 to 90,024 miles in July 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for extended periods, which reduces the risk of perished rubber seals or seized brake calipers often found in low-usage vehicles. The incremental increase in mileage between tests is regular and predictable. While the MOT history shows no significant structural or mechanical trends, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Given the vehicle has surpassed 90,000 miles, the buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. The lack of recorded advisories for brake discs or pads is positive, but the tester should verify that the calipers are not binding and that the discs show no significant lip or scoring. The absence of corrosion advisories in the recent history is an encouraging sign for the vehicle's structural integrity. However, at this age and mileage, it remains prudent to inspect the underbody for surface rust or degradation to the exhaust system. The clean record suggests a well-maintained example, but a thorough check of consumables like tyres and wiper blades remains necessary as these are often excluded from MOT failure criteria unless they reach a critical threshold.
