NISSAN QASHQAI2018 · 1.6L DIESEL

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai passed its most recent MOT on 8 June 2026 at 81,538 miles and remains roadworthy. The maintenance trend is stable with no test failures across the record. The only live advisory from that test is rear brake pads wearing thin, a minor consumable item rather than a structural or mechanical risk. Annual mileage averages 10,192 across eight years, a typical figure for this age of vehicle. The record shows steady accumulation: 30,583 miles in May 2022, 43,494 by May 2023, 57,299 by June 2024, 70,448 by May 2025, and 81,538 by June 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean 2022 test with no defects recorded suggests the first owner maintained the car to a reasonable standard before lighter advisory items began to surface from 2023 onward. Recurring rear suspension and tyre ageing faults merit a physical check. The tester flagged cracking or perishing on both rear tyres in May 2023 at 43,494 miles, then slightly worn shock absorber bushes on both sides in June 2024 at 57,299 miles, and a corroded offside rear coil spring in May 2025 at 70,448 miles. These point to rear axle components entering mid-life wear. A buyer should inspect the rear coil springs for corrosion progression and confirm the shock absorber bushes have not degraded further since the last test. The rear brake pads flagged as wearing thin at the June 2026 test require prompt replacement. Verify disc condition and caliper operation while the wheels are off. No structural integrity or exhaust emission failures appear in the history, so the chassis and powertrain records are clean for an eight-year-old vehicle at this mileage.
