2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DL18 AEC

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 22 May 2025 at 76,382 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of first-time passes dating back to May 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation has increased significantly in the last two years. Between June 2022 and May 2023, the car covered 9,524 miles. However, the gap between May 2024 and May 2025 saw a jump of 16,828 miles. While the overall average of roughly 9,548 miles per year is typical for a 2018 model, the recent surge in usage means consumables will wear down faster than in previous years. The absence of any advisories across five consecutive tests is rare and indicates a diligent ownership history. No issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions have been flagged by the testers. The record shows no evidence of structural integrity concerns or the typical underside corrosion often found in vehicles of this age. A physical inspection should focus on the current state of the tyres and brake pads given the recent increase in annual mileage. While the DVSA record is clean, the jump to 76,382 miles suggests the vehicle may be approaching a service interval for major consumables. Checking the service book for oil change intervals and timing belt requirements will confirm if the mechanical upkeep matches the clean MOT history.
