2013 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · SC62 GWK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test passed in September 2025 at 69,155 miles where no defects were recorded. This follows a consistent period of clean passes in late 2024 and early 2023. While a single failure occurred in late September 2023, the vehicle was rectified and passed again within six days, suggesting that any faults were minor and addressed promptly rather than indicating a recurring mechanical failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 69,155 miles represents a low-average usage pattern of approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows a significant drop in usage recently, with only 482 miles covered between August 2024 and September 2025, and just 242 miles in the year preceding the 2024 test. This low annual mileage often indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber seals, bushings, and hoses due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to perish in low-mileage vehicles. Check the suspension bushes and control arm mounts for cracking or tearing, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Given the vehicle's age and the long gaps in usage, examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers which can occur when a car sits stationary for extended periods. Additionally, inspect the underside sills and structural points for surface rust to ensure the low mileage has not masked long-term environmental exposure.
