2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · BV68 RBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 4 February 2026 at 34,635 miles. The maintenance history shows a stable trend in terms of mechanical defects, though a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes is evident. In both February 2025 and February 2026, the vehicle failed the test just one day before successfully passing, suggesting that minor issues were rectified immediately prior to the retest. The mileage profile is significantly low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the September 2023 test at 21,771 miles and the February 2025 test at 27,554 miles, where the car covered only 5,783 miles over 17 months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion on brake surfaces due to lack of use. Because the record shows no structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures, a buyer should investigate the specific causes of the one-day failures in 2025 and 2026. These are often related to consumable items such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor fluid leaks that were addressed quickly. A physical inspection should also check the brake discs for pitting and suspension bushes for cracking, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from seized calipers and perished rubber.
