2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · CU18 YTP

A consistent record of roadworthiness is evident across six tests, though a recurring pattern of tyre wear and degradation has emerged in recent years. This trend culminated in the most recent pass on 26 March 2026, where both rear tyres were flagged for cracking and perishing. While the vehicle has avoided mechanical failures, the repeated advisories regarding tyre condition and edge wear since 2022 indicate a persistent issue with the state of the rubber. With 74,407 miles recorded over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,301 miles per year. This usage profile is typical for this model and age, suggesting a balanced distribution of driving environments. Mechanically, this level of accumulation means that consumables and suspension components are subject to standard wear, although the MOT history contains no recorded failures for braking systems, steering linkages, or structural corrosion. Inspection should focus heavily on the current state of the tyres, specifically the rear pair flagged in March 2026 for perishing and cracking. A physical check for sidewall fissures and tread depth across all four corners is essential, as the history shows a pattern of tyres reaching their legal limits or sustaining cuts. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual road noise or vibrations that could stem from the recorded tyre degradation or uneven wear. Beyond the tyres, the buyer should remain alert for any steering pull or knocks over bumps, which would indicate the onset of wear in the suspension bushes or coil springs typical of a vehicle with this mileage. While no brake binding or disc corrosion has been recorded, a firm and consistent pedal feel during deceleration should be verified to ensure the braking system remains optimal.
