2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DL18 AEB

This Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 108,353 miles was completed without any defects or advisories. This clean result follows a trend of five consecutive passes without a single recorded failure or advisory since May 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The vehicle has covered significant distance for its age, averaging over 13,500 miles per year. Mileage accumulation has accelerated recently, with 15,434 miles added between January 2025 and January 2026. A similarly high jump occurred between May 2022 and May 2023, where the odometer rose by 14,600 miles. This high-usage pattern typically places greater stress on the drivetrain and chassis than average city use. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade under high mileage even if they pass a basic MOT shake test. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the record is positive. However, given the 108,353 mile total, verifying the service history for timing chain or belt replacements and automatic gearbox fluid changes is essential. The MOT record proves the car is legally roadworthy, but it does not replace a full mechanical service check for high-mileage engine health.
