2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · SB 145

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on 30 July 2025 at 53,152 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained consistent over recent years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per annum. Between the July 2022 at 40,680 miles and July 2025 at 53,152 miles, the vehicle covered 12,472 miles. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of components through sitting. The recorded failure in August 2023 at 44,952 miles was immediately rectified, as the vehicle passed the retest on the same day. Despite the clean recent history, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on signs of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished suspension bushes or cracked tyres due to age rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as these can occur when a car is not driven frequently. Given the vehicle's age, also check the chassis for structural rust, ensuring that the integrity of the frame remains sound despite the low mileage figures.
