2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · S747 AMV

A consistent record of clean passes characterizes this vehicle's recent roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 19 November 2025 showing no defects. The MOT history demonstrates a stable trend of compliance, moving from a period involving minor advisories in 2021 and 2022 to a completely defect-free status over the last three consecutive testing cycles. This lack of recorded failures or recurring mechanical advisories in the most recent years indicates that the components subject to MOT scrutiny have remained within legal operating limits without the need for remedial work. The recorded mileage of 73,809 miles over approximately eight years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 9,226 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving profiles for a vehicle of this age and suggests a steady rate of wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes. Because the mileage has been accumulated at a moderate pace rather than through extreme high-mileage motorway use or prolonged periods of inactivity, the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and chassis components is likely to be distributed evenly across its service life. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the 2021 advisory specifically noted rear brake pads wearing thin. While the subsequent tests show no further issues, it is essential to verify the current thickness of the rear pads and the condition of the brake discs. During a test drive, listen for any high-pitched squealing from the rear wheels or feel for any pulsation through the brake pedal, which could indicate uneven disc wear or binding calipers. Given the absence of recent advisories regarding suspension or steering, the test drive should also include monitoring for any unexpected knocks or knocks from the underside when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps. This will help confirm that the suspension linkages and bushes have not developed play despite the absence of formal MOT advisories. Additionally, check for any signs of fluid leaks beneath the vehicle to ensure that the engine and transmission seals remain intact, complementing the clean electronic record provided by the DVSA.
