2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · KW62 CXY

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 11 October 2025 at 75,635 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the last three annual cycles. The vehicle cleared its October 2025 retest just five days after a 6 October 2025 failure at 75,574 miles that listed no defects, a pattern repeated on 26 September 2024 when a failure at 71,997 miles was followed by a pass at 71,998 miles on the same day with no faults recorded. Such administrative failures without listed defects suggest paperwork or test-scope issues rather than worsening mechanical condition. The odometer shows 75,635 miles against 13 years of age, equating to roughly 5,818 miles per year, which is low for a 2013 crossover. The record spans three tests: 68,086 miles on 13 October 2023, 71,998 miles on 26 September 2024, and 75,635 miles on 11 October 2025. Annual accumulation stayed near 3,900 to 4,600 miles, with no rapid jumps or standing gaps. Low use of this nature often means lighter duty on suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain, though prolonged idle periods can permit corrosion or flat-spotted tyres unseen in the clean record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT history shows no advisories but does not certify absence of rust on sills or subframes. The tester noted no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions breaches, yet low-mileage Nissans of this era are prone to rear suspension arm corrosion and perished rubber components from age rather than distance. Verify the 6 October 2025 and 26 September 2024 failures were administrative, not concealed faults, by reviewing the full DVSA failure reasons. Check brake disc thickness, tyre sidewall cracking, and suspension bush condition in person, since the sparse record offers no evidence of consumable neglect but equally no deep mechanical assurance beyond the stated pass dates.
