2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · CU18 YTT

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 43,818 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of five annual passes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any test stage. Annual mileages sit well below typical class averages for an eight-year-old crossover. The records show 24,209 miles at the 25 February 2022 test, rising to 28,707 by 24 February 2023, 33,923 by 8 March 2024, 38,902 by 21 February 2025, and 43,818 by the 2026 test. That equates to roughly 5,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The sparse, fault-free history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural care. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean sheet. Low-use vehicles of this type often develop perished suspension bushes, corroded brake discs, or seized calipers through standing rather than wear. The Qashqai's rear torsion beam and subframe mountings warrant close checks for rust, as MoT testers logged nothing on these points across the period. Verify the odometer against service stamps and confirm underseal condition on sills and floorpan. The absence of advisories means no recurring weakness is visible in the data, but a car covering under 5,500 miles yearly may hide intermittent faults that only surface under sustained load.
