2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CU68 UTH

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 52,022 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes across the full available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear on any entry, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT regime over the past four years. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,503 miles per year against an eight-year lifespan, with the record showing consistent yearly use rather than long dormant periods. The tester logged 35,941 miles on 8 February 2022, rising to 39,794 by 3 April 2023, 44,109 on 20 March 2024, 48,050 on 20 March 2025, and 52,022 on 20 March 2026. The step from early-2022 to spring-2023 shows slightly elevated accumulation, but the remaining intervals hold near 4,000 miles each. The clean sheet across all dates suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the fact that MOT passes record no measured remaining life. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emission flags is favourable, yet eight years of service can hide worn trailing arm mounts or tired dampers not yet at failure threshold. Verify the service history matches the low mileage and confirm tyre sidewall dates, as no tread or pressure defects were ever raised. Given the sparse but fault-free record, the Qashqai reads as a low-risk used purchase from a mechanical standpoint. The regular testing cadence and zero advisories imply disciplined ownership, though pre-sale checks on underbody condition and drivetrain noise remain sensible before completion.
