2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · XX57 ALB

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent inspection on March 27 2026 at 39,651 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable with no mechanical or structural defects recorded across the last three passing tests. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely minor non-mechanical items, such as bulbs or minor adjustments, which were rectified instantly to achieve a pass. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 23,950 miles and the March 2025 test at 32,659 miles, the car covered roughly 8,700 miles, indicating consistent but light usage. This usage pattern typically results in reduced wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, low-mileage can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as tyre flat spotting or brake corrosion if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on signs of age rather than high-mileage wear. Since the MOT history shows no advisories for suspension bushes or structural corrosion, the inspector should still check for cracking in rubber components that perish over time regardless of distance. Examine the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as infrequent use can allow rust to build on the rotors. The overall clean record suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained despite the low annual mileage.
