2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · ML13 PWY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on April 10 2026 at 117,561 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful repairs. The car failed tests in February 2026 and December 2024, only to pass within days of each failure. This suggests that the previous owner addressed specific faults only when necessitated by legal compliance requirements rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance to avoid test failures. At 117,561 miles over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK averages for a family crossover. There is a significant surge in usage between November 2023 (77,688 miles) and December 2024 (98,881 miles), covering over 21,000 miles in just over thirteen months. More recently, the car has covered nearly 19,000 miles in the eighteen months between the December 2024 and April 2026 tests. This accelerated rate of travel places higher demand on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake hardware compared to the earlier years of ownership. While the most recent record shows no defects, the buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and undercarriage. Given the high mileage and age of this Nissan, checking for structural corrosion on the rear subframe and mounting points is essential. The recurring failures indicate that items like light bulbs, wipers or tyres are reaching their limit. An inspector should specifically look for binding brake calipers or play in the suspension arms to ensure the recent MOT pass has not masked deep-seated mechanical wear.
