2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · CU68 URP

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 73,015 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. Mileage accumulation has tracked closely to typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 34,091 miles at the 16 September 2021 test, rising to 45,570 by 19 August 2022, 56,188 by 14 August 2023, 65,054 by 19 July 2024, and 73,015 by August 2025. This equates to roughly 9,000 miles per year with no abnormal gaps or sudden jumps. The DVSA data contains no advisories or failures at any stage, so the history offers no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean record. Absence of MOT advisories does not confirm the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, or underbody corrosion, all of which can develop between annual tests without triggering a failure. The Qashqai's age makes scrutiny of subframe and sill structural integrity worthwhile. Given the sparse but consistent history, previous owners appear to have maintained the vehicle to minimum legal standard or better. No recurring fault pattern exists to suggest worsening wear. A pre-purchase check of tyre tread depth, wiper function, and fluid condition remains sensible routine due diligence.
