NISSAN QASHQAI2018 · 1.5L Diesel

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-08-21 at 80,290 miles. All prior tests, including the 2024-09-20 (63,610 miles) and 2023-09-15 (42,509 miles) assessments, also showed no issues. This consistent pass record over four consecutive annual tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures indicates the car has not exhibited recurring faults that would signal deteriorating condition. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,036 miles annually. The records show steady accumulation, with no extended gaps between tests. The 2022-02-07 MOT at 17,861 miles marks the earliest entry, followed by a 2,089-mile increase by 2022-09-20. Subsequent tests reflect gradual mileage growth, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. This pattern suggests regular use rather than periods of standing, reducing risks of component degradation from neglect. The clean MOT history through 2025-08-21 reinforces the reliability of this usage profile. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these can degrade over time without immediate visible defects. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often develop gradually. While no exhaust emissions issues were flagged, a visual check for leaks or rust in the exhaust system is advisable. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the records, so a professional inspection for rust or panel damage is recommended to ensure no hidden corrosion exists. The vehicle’s maintenance history does not indicate significant risks, but physical examination of these areas will confirm its ongoing suitability.
