2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · LM63 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 51,392 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just three miles prior on the same day. This specific sequence suggests a minor component issue or a sensor-related failure that was rectified immediately, as no further mechanical or structural faults were noted in the subsequent pass or the previous annual tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 39,547 miles and October 2025 at 51,392 miles, the car covered only 11,845 miles. This low usage typically indicates reduced wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seized brake calipers, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. While the record shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at perished sidewalls on the tyres despite potentially high tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or scoring, as infrequent use often leads to rust buildup on the rotors. Given the low mileage, verifying the service history for fluid changes and oil intervals is critical to ensure the engine has been properly maintained despite the long gaps between tests.
