2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · LV18 AAX

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with all six MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2026-02-28 at 41,919 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance record. No recurring issues or escalating faults were flagged across the eight-year span, indicating the vehicle has been well-maintained. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though the low mileage raises questions about usage patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 41,919 miles over eight years equates to approximately 5,240 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This suggests either light usage or extended periods of inactivity, which could affect components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. Notably, the 2022-01-22 test at 23,943 miles showed a 12-month gap before the next inspection, which may indicate irregular servicing. However, subsequent tests were conducted within 12-month cycles, aligning with legal requirements. The clean MOT history implies no major mechanical degradation, but the low mileage warrants scrutiny of wear on consumables and static components. A physical inspection should focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as prolonged inactivity can cause stiffness or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked for hidden rust, particularly under the car. While the MOT records show no issues, the vehicle’s low mileage and sporadic inspection intervals mean a hands-on assessment is critical to confirm the absence of latent faults. Buyers should verify service history and test-drive the car to assess responsiveness and noise levels, ensuring no hidden problems emerged between tests.
