Our Verdict
The 2018 Nissan Qashqai is a low‑mileage diesel with a generally clean MOT record, but tyre‑related advisories and a past dangerous front‑tyre failure suggest a cautious approach.
When inspecting the vehicle, focus on the condition of all four tyres. The MOT records reveal repeated advisories for rear tyre cracking and a dangerous front‑tyre issue in 2024, so ask the seller for recent tyre replacement receipts or arrange a fresh tyre inspection. Verify that the brake discs and pads have been serviced, especially the rear service brakes which showed fluctuating performance in several advisories. Review the service history for any diesel‑specific maintenance, such as DPF cleaning or fuel filter changes, as these can affect long‑term reliability.
Negotiate on the price if the current tyres are near the end of their life, as replacement can cost between £200‑£400 for a set of suitable 19‑inch tyres. If the seller can provide recent MOT paperwork confirming that the dangerous front‑tyre issue has been rectified, it will reduce the risk of unexpected tyre failure. Consider requesting a full mechanical inspection to confirm the health of the suspension and steering components, which are not covered by the MOT advisories but are common wear points on a vehicle of this age.
The 1.6‑litre diesel engine typically achieves around 45 mpg combined, making fuel costs roughly £1,200‑£1,400 per year based on an average UK mileage of 12,000 miles. Road tax for a 2018 diesel of this size falls in the £150‑£200 band, while the insurance group is likely around 20, translating to an annual premium of £600‑£800 for a standard driver. Routine maintenance, including oil changes, brake fluid, and occasional tyre replacement, adds another £300‑£400 per year. In total, you can expect an annual running cost in the region of £2,250‑£2,800.
Pay particular attention to the tyre condition. The MOT history lists repeated advisories for rear tyre cracking and a dangerous front‑tyre failure in 2024, indicating that the tyre set may be aged or unevenly worn. Check for tread depth, sidewall integrity, and any signs of ply exposure. Also inspect the rear brake discs and pads, as multiple advisories noted fluctuating service brakes, which could hint at wear or contamination.
Examine the under‑carriage for any signs of oil leaks, especially around the diesel engine and turbocharger, as diesel engines can develop leaks over time. Verify that the DPF (diesel particulate filter) has been serviced, as blockages can lead to costly repairs. Finally, assess the suspension components for any clunking or uneven ride, since the Qashqai’s front and rear suspension can develop wear on bushings and mounts after several hundred thousand miles, even though this vehicle is relatively low mileage.
This eight‑year‑old Qashqai has covered 41,952 miles, well below the typical average for its age. Its MOT history shows three years of passes, with the most recent test in June 2026 passing without failures. However, recurring tyre advisories and a dangerous tyre condition flagged in 2024 indicate that the tyre set may need attention. Overall the car offers good value for a diesel SUV, provided the buyer verifies the current tyre condition and checks for any recent brake work.
Specific reliability data for the Nissan Qashqai is not available, so assessment must rely on this vehicle's individual MOT record and mileage.
