2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · VN13 EBF

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable due to a trend of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the car passed its most recent test in April 2024 at 63,510 miles, it followed a failure just one day prior that revealed multiple safety-critical defects. The presence of a supplementary restraint system warning lamp during that failure indicates a serious electrical fault in the artwork system, and the recurring nature of lighting and suspension issues suggests that the vehicle is only addressed when forced by an annual inspection result. The mileage profile is notably low for aion-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year with a total of 63,510 miles. There is a significant gap of nearly 9,000 miles between September 2021 (45,385 miles) and January 2023 (54,250 miles). This period of relatively low use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the repeated failures of suspension bushes and joints despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the history shows consistent issues with artwork rod ends, suspension arm ball joints, and anti-roll bar linkages across multiple years. The April 2024 test flagged corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease, which is often an indicator of fluid leaks or an attempt to mask ongoing structural corrosion. Furthermore, the repeated uneven wear on the front tyres in both 2023 and 2024 suggests persistent alignment issues or worn steering components that have not been properly rectified.
