2013 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · WP63 AEC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-11 at 119,867 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-04-05 to 2022-04-13 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, the failed test on 2025-04-09 at 119,771 miles—despite no recorded defects—raises questions about potential technical anomalies or administrative errors. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the history implies no immediate structural or safety risks, but the recent failure warrants closer scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 119,867 miles over 13 years aligns with an average of 9,221 miles annually, a typical rate for its age. MOT tests were conducted at roughly yearly intervals, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation. The 2024-04-05 test at 106,489 miles showed a 13,380-mile increase from 2023-04-17, reflecting steady usage. No evidence of prolonged inactivity or excessive wear is apparent from the data, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits deeper analysis of component longevity. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common issues in older Qashqais, and check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Corrosion on underbody components and exhaust emissions compliance should also be verified. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, the April 2025 failure without recorded defects suggests potential oversight in prior inspections. Confirming the vehicle’s service history and addressing these areas will ensure long-term reliability.
