2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SC13 DZD

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 March 2026 at 68,742 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement, as the car transitioned from failing tests in previous years to a clean sheet in the latest inspection. This shift suggests that the current owner has proactively addressed and rectified the mechanical issues that previously prevented the vehicle from meeting DVSA standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,288 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 3,164 miles, while it added another 2,976 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This consistent low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or the seizing of brake components despite the low mileage. A buyer should focus on the specific components that caused the failures in March 2024 and 2025, although the provided record does not detail the exact reasons for those specific failures. Given the age of the Qashqai, physical inspection should prioritize the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms, which are common points of failure on this model. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the exhaust system and the brake lines to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in neglected structural integrity or fluid leaks.
