2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · WM13 AFK

The 2013 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-06-30 assessment at 74,738 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 showed similar pass results with no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle’s compliance with safety standards is confirmed, though the absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear in components not tested during MOTs. The mileage of 74,738 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 5,749 miles annually, significantly below the typical usage for its age. This suggests either infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on static components. The MOT intervals align with standard annual testing, with no abrupt mileage spikes or prolonged gaps between assessments. The clean record implies no urgent mechanical failures, but the low mileage may mask issues such as dry-rotted rubber parts or corrosion in areas not inspected during MOTs. A buyer should prioritize in-person checks for suspension integrity, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which can degrade without regular stress. The exhaust system merits inspection for corrosion, as low mileage may correlate with stagnant operation. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be tested for binding or uneven wear, while the vehicle’s structural frame should be examined for rust or damage, as these are not assessed during MOTs. The absence of advisories in the history is reassuring, but physical verification remains critical for components outside MOT scope.
