2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · KP13 LML

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in August 2024 at 89,511 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. The August 2024 failure at 89,504 miles highlighted significant wear-related issues including both front suspension arm ball joints, the anti-roll bar linkage, and front tyres. While these issues were addressed to secure the pass, the recurring nature of suspension components suggests that the owner only repairs faults once they reach the point of failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 89,511 miles averages approximately 6,885 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low usage for this age. The mileage accumulation between tests is steady, with roughly 3,539 miles driven between August 2023 and 2024, and approximately 3,862 miles between August 2022 and 2023. This consistent usage indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity which can degrade rubber seals and brake components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages have been flagged multiple times over the last three years. The 2022 failure regarding the inoperative parking brake and insufficient lever travel indicates the handbrake mechanism has been prone to neglect or requires frequent adjustment. Given the history of thin pads and pitted discs noted in 2022 and 2023, the current thickness and condition of the braking system must be verified to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement again.
