Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Focus on the service history to ensure the 1.2L petrol engine has had regular oil changes. Check for receipts regarding the brake pad and disc replacement performed in May 2025 to confirm the work was carried out to a professional standard.
Verify the current state of the front undertray, as it was noted as not fully secure during the most recent MOT. Negotiate based on any immediate needs for undertray repair or upcoming service intervals.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for a balance of efficiency and urban usability. Insurance and road tax will vary by trim level, but the vehicle generally sits in a moderate insurance group for its class.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are standard for a petrol crossover, though the MOT history suggests a pattern of regular brake wear that will require ongoing monitoring. Estimated annual costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect the front braking system; while pads were replaced in 2025, the history shows brake wear was flagged in 2023 and 2024, suggesting a pattern of usage that wears these components. Check the front undertray to ensure it is now properly secured following the May 2026 advisory.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps, tyres, and ball joints. According to aggregate data for over 575,000 Qashqais, these are the most frequent causes of MOT failure for this model and should be checked for wear or damage.
This red 2018 Nissan Qashqai has covered 58,198 miles, which is slightly below the model's average annual usage. The MOT history shows five tests, with a single failure in May 2025 due to worn front brake pads. The most recent test in May 2026 resulted in a pass with an advisory regarding a loose front undertray.
The Qashqai has an average MOT pass rate of 79.3% across a large sample of 575,047 vehicles.
