2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DA18 WWV

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 May 2025 at 60,666 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure on 3 May 2024 at 50,746 miles is anomalous: the DVSA record shows no defects listed against that failure, and the vehicle passed on the same day at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 36,363 miles at the 29 April 2022 test, rising to 42,532 by 12 May 2023, 50,746 by 3 May 2024, and 60,666 by 9 May 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The clean advisory history across all five entries suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. Given the absence of flagged defects, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of common Qashqai wear points not always caught in a pass. Check front suspension lower arms and bushes for play, examine rear coil springs for corrosion or fracture, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation. Inspect underbody and sills for structural rust given the vehicle's age. The MOT data alone shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring correction. A pre-purchase check should confirm service history and verify the tyres, wipers, and exhaust emissions match the clean test record before completion.
