2018 NISSAN QASHQAI1.2L Petrol

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 22,774 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of five annual passes since first tested in July 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any examination point. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low across the eight-year lifespan. The record shows 4,744 miles at the 2021-07-30 test, rising to 8,312 by 2022-07-25, 12,814 by 2023-07-25, 18,023 by 2024-07-18, and 22,774 by 2025-07-14. That equates to roughly 2,800 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps between tests. The uniform annual increments and clean sheets suggest a cautious owner who kept the car lightly used and submitted it for testing on schedule each summer. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the flawless record. Low mileage coupled with five passes showing no advisories means wear items such as brake discs, suspension bushes, and coil springs have escaped formal flagging, yet components on a car averaging under 3,000 miles annually may suffer from infrequent use rather than abrasion. Standing periods can encourage corrosion on structural members and exhaust systems even when the tester records nothing. Examine the underbody for rust on subframes and sills, check tyre sidewalls for perishing from low rotational wear, and confirm brake calipers are not seizing after limited road time. The absence of recorded faults reflects a well-kept test history, not a guarantee of component condition beneath the surface.
