2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FN63 ACY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 8 January 2026 at 102,041 miles returned no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes since late 2022, suggesting the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a 13-year-old petrol vehicle. The car has averaged approximately 7,850 miles per year, reflecting moderate domestic use rather than heavy long-distance commuting or prolonged neglect. There is a notable cluster of activity between December 2022 at 82,223 miles and January 2024 at 88,822 miles, where the vehicle covered over 6,600 miles in thirteen months. The failure in January 2024 followed immediately by a pass on the same day suggests a minor issue that was rectified promptly before the re-test. While the recent records are clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for the Qashqai of this era. Given the mileage exceeds 100,000 miles, the suspension components, specifically the bushes and coil springs, should be checked for perished rubber or fatigue. The buyer should also inspect for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as the MOT does not always flag surface rust until it becomes structural. The lack of advisories in the last two tests is a positive sign, but a manual check of brake pad thickness and disc surface condition remains necessary.
