2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BL68 ADU

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-25 confirming a pass at 74,321 miles. Despite a failed test on the same date with no defects recorded, the absence of recorded issues in prior tests suggests no significant mechanical deterioration. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows consistent compliance, with no advisories or critical failures noted across its 8-year lifespan. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 9,290 miles annually. The 2024-10-07 test at 62,403 miles and 2023-11-20 test at 57,298 miles indicate steady, predictable wear. No abrupt mileage spikes or extended gaps between tests are evident, reinforcing the impression of regular, responsible ownership. The 2025-11-25 test, though flagged as failed, lacks defect details, leaving the cause unresolved but not indicative of systemic issues. A buyer should prioritize inspecting suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common in older models. Structural integrity should be verified, with attention to rust on underbody panels or chassis seams. While the MOT record shows no immediate concerns, a physical examination of these areas will confirm the car’s continued reliability.
