2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · RM02 LUP

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 108,320 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a multi-year trend of clean passes. This consistency suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle proactively, addressing any potential mechanical issues before they could manifest as failures during the annual inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 27,633 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or heavy strain. Regular use is generally beneficial for older vehicles as it keeps engine seals lubricated and prevents the build-up of-related corrosion often seen in cars that sit idle for extended periods. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, a physical inspection should still focus on components that fall outside the scope of the standard test. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and lateral links for signs of perished rubber or fatigue, as these are common wear points on Qashqais of this age. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear and the calipers for binding is also advisable, as the MOT only tests for braking efficiency rather than component condition. The structural integrity of the chassis appears sound based on the lack of corrosion advisories, but a close look at the sills and rear subframe points remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed. Given the clean electronic record, the vehicle appears to have been well-cared for, provided the service history confirms regular oil changes and fluid maintenance to match the mileage intervals.
