NISSAN QASHQAI2018 · 1.3L Petrol

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 31,629 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle failed on 20 August 2025 at the same mileage, though the tester logged no defects; this suggests an administrative or unrecorded procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the immediate pass two days later confirms the car was fit for the road. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 16,875 miles at the 29 November 2022 test, rising to 21,661 miles by 1 November 2023, then 27,772 miles on 4 December 2024, and 31,629 miles by August 2025. That equates to roughly 3,950 miles per year. The gap between the December 2024 and August 2025 tests covers only about 3,800 miles, while earlier annual intervals stayed near 4,800 to 5,100 miles. Such light use implies prolonged standing periods, which can accelerate rubber perishing and brake corrosion despite clean MOT sheets. No advisories or defects appear across any test in the history, so the DVSA record itself reveals no recurring suspension, braking, or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation, as low-mileage cars often hide seized calipers or surface corrosion from inactivity. Verify the August 2025 fail reason with the test station, since a no-defect failure is unusual and may signal a documentation anomaly worth clarifying before purchase.
