2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CP68 ABX

The 2018 Nissan QashQai presents a generally sound roadworthiness profile with a stabilizing maintenance trend, supported by the most recent test passed on 11 November 2025 at 52,214 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean pass immediately follows a significant failure the day prior on 10 November 2025 at 52,205 miles, where the vehicle recorded fractured offside front and offside rear coil springs alongside heavily worn front and rear brake pads. Rectifying these critical suspension and friction components successfully restored compliance, indicating that the previous owner addressed major faults promptly rather than neglecting structural wear. Averaging roughly 6,500 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan, the vehicle accumulated mileage at a remarkably consistent and typical rate. The historical progression shows steady use, recording 20,877 miles in November 2021, 28,410 miles in November 2022, 36,120 miles in November 2023, and 44,891 miles by November 2024. This steady accumulation pattern suggests regular, moderate usage rather than intensive fleet operations or prolonged periods of inactivity, minimizing the risk of issues typically associated with standing vehicles, such as seized drivetrain components or severe corrosion. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the newly fitted suspension dampers and coil springs to verify correct installation and ensure matching components were used across the axles. Given the simultaneous wear noted on both front and rear brake pads during the 2025 failure, checking the current thickness of the brake discs for scoring or excessive lip wear is essential. Finally, inspecting the chassis subframes and suspension mounting points for surface corrosion remains prudent, as vehicles of this age frequently begin accumulating minor environmental degradation underneath.
