Our Verdict
A sensible purchase with a relatively cl
When inspecting this specific red 1.2L petrol Qashqai, your primary focus should be on the braking system. The most recent MOT in August 2026 flagged thin front brake pads, so you should verify if these have been replaced since that test or if they remain a pending maintenance item.
Beyond the brakes, check the condition of the front registration plate. The MOT history shows this has been a recurring minor issue, appearing in both 2022 and 2026. Ensure the plate is clear, legible, and securely attached. Given the low mileage, also inspect the tyres for age-related cracking, even if tread depth appears sufficient.
The 1197cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger displacement variants of the Qashqai. Fuel economy for this 1.2L unit is typically efficient for a compact crossover, though real-world figures will depend on driving style.
Annual running costs are estimated to be moderate. Maintenance costs will likely be driven by standard consumable items like tyres and brakes, which are common wear points for this model. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,100-£1,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Directly address the findings from the August 2026 MOT by inspecting the front brake pads and discs. Ask the seller for receipts to confirm if the thinning pads identified during the test have been addressed.
While this specific vehicle has not suffered from the common model failures like headlamps or ball joints, these remain top failure reasons for the Qashqai aggregate data. It is worth checking the headlight brightness and clarity, as well as testing the suspension for any knocks or play in the ball joints during a test drive.
This 2018 Nissan Qashqai (WF68AAK) presents with 39,172 miles on the clock, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,707 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with no major mechanical failures recorded since its first test in 2022. The most recent inspection in August 2026 highlighted minor wear items rather than significant defects.
Aggregate data from over 575,000 vehicles suggests that headlamps, tyres, and ball joints are the most frequent MOT failure points for this model.
