2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CK18 ADU

The Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 30 December 2025 at 90,849 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests show the same clean outcome. The sole anomaly appears on 13 January 2023 when the tester logged a failure and a subsequent pass at identical mileage of 45,906 miles, both with no defects listed, pointing to a procedural or administrative matter rather than mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation across the record aligns with typical use for an eight year old vehicle. The odometer read 45,906 miles in January 2023, climbed to 64,061 by December 2023, then 79,482 at December 2024, and 90,849 by December 2025. That equates to roughly eleven to eighteen thousand miles per year, a modest decline in annual distance latterly. The history is sparse but unblemished by advisories or recorded wear, suggesting the previous owners kept statutory testing current without flagged neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements given the mileage. At near 91,000 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs and damper mounts will have absorbed considerable load, while brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for wear or binding. The absence of corrosion advisories in the record does not exempt the chassis and sills from scrutiny for structural integrity, particularly within wheel arches and underbody seams. Consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades and fluid condition fall outside MOT defect logging when within limits, yet at this age they likely approach replacement. The same day fail and pass in January 2023 should prompt a check of the full DVSA certificate detail to confirm no non mechanical rejection occurred. Overall the evidential trail implies conscientious test compliance, but in person verification of drivetrain noise and exhaust emissions remains prudent before purchase.
