2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · T13 BAV

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness trend with the most recent test on 2026-02-24 returning a pass at 130,093 miles and no defects recorded. Across the five available DVSA entries from March 2023 to February 2026 the vehicle cleared each examination aside from an anomalous fail on 2025-03-12 at 121,131 miles where the tester logged no defects. That immediate re-test two days later produced a pass at 121,168 miles. The maintenance history shows no recurring mechanical faults and indicates consistent upkeep by previous keepers. Mileage progression aligns broadly with typical use for a thirteen year old vehicle. The record shows 91,842 miles on 2023-03-15, rising sharply to 113,365 miles by 2024-03-16, a twelve month accumulation of 21,523 miles that exceeds the average annual rate. Subsequent periods show moderation with 121,168 miles on 2025-03-14 and 130,093 miles on 2026-02-24, equating to roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year. No extended gaps appear in the testing cadence, and the clean advisories list suggests the prior owners addressed wear before each annual test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements given the mileage and age. Focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and examine subframes for corrosion that MOT tests may not flag until perforation occurs. The absence of recorded exhaust emissions faults implies the catalytic converter and lambda sensors performed within limits, yet a cold-start smoke test remains prudent. The 2025-03-12 fail with no defects recorded warrants confirmation of the V5C and test certificate to rule out administrative anomaly rather than concealed repair.
