NJ63 ABK MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2013 Nissan Qashqai (NJ63 ABK) between October 2023 and December 2025.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 01 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (10 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 30 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingre”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Offside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.

Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While this grey Qashqai is a functional family diesel, its MOT history reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance and recurring corrosion issues.
Prioritise a full service history check, specifically looking for evidence of oil leak repairs, as an 'oil leak, but not excessive' was noted in December 2024. Given the recurring tyre and brake issues in the MOT history, check if the current owner has replaced these items or simply patched them to pass the test.
Negotiate the price based on the current advisories. The December 2025 MOT specifically flags worn/pitted rear brake discs and corroded rear lower suspension arms. These are inevitable maintenance costs that you will inherit shortly after purchase.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Qashqai offers a good balance of fuel economy for motorway commuting, though older diesels can face higher costs if the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) becomes clogged from short city trips. Tax and insurance for this model are generally mid-range for the crossover segment.
Expect higher-than-average maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows a trend of suspension and braking system degradation, meaning annual upkeep will likely exceed basic servicing to keep the car roadworthy.
Focus heavily on the underside and suspension. The MOT history repeatedly mentions corroded rear suspension arms (2024 and 2025) and corroded coil springs (2023). Use a torch to inspect the rear chassis and suspension components for significant rust.
Check the tyres and brakes carefully. The vehicle has a history of failing on tyre tread and cuts (most recently in November 2025), as well as pitted brake discs. Ensure the current tyres have plenty of tread and that the rear discs aren't heavily scored, as flagged in the latest advisory.
This 2013 Nissan Qashqai has reached 124,016 miles, showing a consistent history of wear-and-tear failures. Recent MOTs highlight ongoing issues with tyre wear, brake disc pitting, and suspension corrosion. While it has passed its most recent test, the volume of 'advisories' suggests a vehicle that is maintained to the minimum legal standard rather than being proactively cared for.
Aggregate data is unavailable, but this specific vehicle demonstrates typical age-related wear for a 12-year-old crossover.
