2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · MJ13 AEN

The 2026‑04‑07 MOT at 158,362 miles confirms the 2013 Nissan Qashqai is presently roadworthy, though the recurring suspension arm corrosion and track rod end play indicate a maintenance trend that is stable but shows ongoing wear rather than improvement. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 39,229 miles in 2016 to 158,362 miles in 2026, a gain of roughly 119,000 miles over ten years, averaging about 12,000 miles per year; the steepest increase occurred between 2022 (114,951 miles) and 2026, while earlier intervals such as 2018‑2020 show a slower accumulation, suggesting periods of reduced use followed by higher usage. A buyer should inspect the near‑side and off‑side rear lower suspension arms for the documented corrosion (5.3.3 (b) (i)) and verify that the track rod end ball joints do not exhibit excessive play, check the condition of the front suspension arm pins and bushes, examine the front brake pads recorded as wearing thin in 2017, assess the drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boots for deterioration, and confirm that the parking brake operates correctly on both sides, as these items have repeatedly appeared in the MOT history as potential structural or mechanical risks.
