2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BC18 OFD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in September 2025 at 49,992 miles flagged the rear brake pads as wearing thin. This follows an identical advisory recorded during the September 2024 test at 42,508 miles, indicating that the owner is waiting until components approach the legal limit of failure before addressing them. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging out approximately 6,250 miles per annum. There is a clear gap of 7,484 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, which reflects a steady usage pattern. The data from 2023 shows a brief period at 33,121 miles where a minor failure for a non-functional windscreen washer was rectified immediately, but otherwise, the vehicle has not faced any significant mechanical or structural failures during that mid-life period. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres. The recurring mention of thin rear brake pads across two consecutive years suggests a potential issue with binding calipers or simply a lack of preventative inspections. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory noted a front tyre worn on the edge, which often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. You must verify the current state of the suspension components and check for uneven tyre wear across the set to ensure these issues were resolved last year.
