2013 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Diesel · YC63 TNO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on January 14 2026 at 164,898 miles. The maintenance trend shows a sign of improvement after a period of instability. While the car failed consecutive tests in late 2024 and early 2025, the subsequent clean pass with no recorded defects indicates that the underlying issues were addressed and rectified. The vehicle is currently meeting the minimum DVSA standards for safety and environmental emissions. At 164,898 miles, this 13-year-old Qashqai has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per year. The mileage data shows a significant burst of usage between January 2024 and January 2025, where the vehicle covered 11,367 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of accumulation places consistent stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The gap between the December 2024 failure and the January 2025 pass suggests the vehicle was sidelined or used only for short trips while the necessary repairs were completed. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and chassis components, as the high mileage often leads to accelerated wear on control arms, shocks, and coil springs. Given the recent failures prior to the latest clean pass, it is vital to verify that the specific faults causing those failures were permanently fixed rather than temporarily patched. Pay close attention to any corrosion on the structural members and the exhaust system, which are common points of failure on high-mileage Japanese vehicles of this era.
