2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · M155 AAC

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai is currently roadworthy, as evidenced by the 2025-05-23 MOT pass at 65,790 miles with no defects recorded. However, the same date shows a failed test with no defects listed, creating ambiguity in the record. The prior 2024-05-29 test at 59,150 miles also passed with no issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past two years. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are documented in the most recent entries, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,790 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 5,061 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, belts, and fluid systems. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing with gradual mileage increases, though the 2023-06-17 entries—both pass and fail at 54,457 miles—lack defect details, limiting insight into potential issues during that period. A physical inspection should prioritise the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage’s potential to mask wear. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, as inactivity can lead to binding or seizing. The exhaust system and underbody should also be checked for rust, as reduced usage may accelerate corrosion in vulnerable areas. No structural integrity concerns are noted in the records, but a hands-on assessment remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
