2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · BT68 XTM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a recent trend toward neglected consumable upkeep. While it passed the test on 2 June 2026 at 44,889 miles, it failed just five miles prior due to a structural failure in the offside rear tyre and significant wear on the nearside rear. This shift from a clean record in 2024 to multiple tyre failures today suggests that the owner is only addressing defects when prompted by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,611 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between the May 2024 test at 28,789 miles and the May 2025 test at 37,164 miles, representing nearly 8,400 miles in twelve months. This low-frequency use often leads to age-related rubber degradation, which aligns with the cracking and perishing noted on the nearside rear tyre across both the May 2025 and June 2026 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all tyres, as the recurring advisories for perishing and uneven wear suggest the rubber is reaching its expiration date despite low mileage. The record shows thin front brake pads in 2023 at 26,015 miles, indicating that the braking system requires regular monitoring. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check for corrosion on the brake discs and seized caliper pins, which frequently occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods.
