2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · VE13 UXA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension and brake-related wear. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 95,934 miles passed, the advisories show an increase in mechanical degradation compared to previous years. This follows a clean record in 2024, but the appearance of multiple deteriorated dust covers and pitted brake discs suggests that components are now reaching the end of their functional life. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 74,252 miles and June 2025 at 95,934 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles, suggesting steady and predictable usage. There is no evidence of long periods of standing, though the relatively annual age of the vehicle means that rubber components and metal surfaces are susceptible to age-related perishability rather than just distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front geometry. The record shows recurring issues with the offside front lower suspension arm ball joints between 2022 and 2023, which evolved into severe deterioration of the nearside front lower suspension dust covers by 2025. These faults indicate that the rubber boots and ball joints are failing, which will require immediate replacement to prevent mechanical failure. Additionally, the braking system needs attention as the recorded pitting and scoring on both the front inner discs and nearside rear discs indicate the rotors are thinning and likely require replacement alongside new pads.
