2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · BA18 AFV

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates a generally stable roadworthiness trajectory, culminating in a clean pass on 7 February 2026 at 75,658 miles. Advisories on this most recent test noted both front tyres wearing close to the legal limit or on the edge, which mirrors identical front tyre wear alerts flagged during the February 2022 and January 2024 examinations. This recurring tyre wear pattern points toward consistent front-end scrubbing or tracking alignment neglect rather than a sudden mechanical fault, though consumable replacement has consistently kept the vehicle compliant without generating outright test failures. Annual mileage accumulation follows a regular progression, averaging roughly nine thousand five hundred miles per year over the eight-year lifespan, which aligns closely with typical UK motoring expectations. The sole notable anomaly in the timeline sits between July 2021 at 30,490 miles and February 2022 at 30,760 miles, capturing a six-month period of minimal use where the car covered fewer than three hundred miles. Subsequent tests show a steady resumption of approximately ten to eleven thousand miles annually, indicating regular private or fleet usage without extended periods of prolonged dormancy that might otherwise induce seizing brakes or battery degradation. A physical inspection prior to purchase should focus heavily on the front suspension geometry, steering components, and tracking setup to diagnose why the front tyres repeatedly wear on their edges. Buyers must also inspect the friction materials closely, remembering the January 2023 test at 44,599 miles noted both front and rear brake pads wearing thin, requiring verification of subsequent replacement invoices. Overall structural integrity remains sound given the complete absence of corrosion or suspension linkage advisories across all six recorded annual examinations.
