2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DC04 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The February 2026 test at 61,558 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting all regulatory requirements. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last several years, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed identified issues promptly. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 7,695 miles per year, which is a moderate level of use. Between February 2025 and February 2026, the mileage increased by 15,121 miles, a notable jump compared to the 14,213-mile increase seen between February 2024 and February 2025. This suggests the vehicle's usage has remained steady or slightly increased recently, rather than experiencing long periods of inactivity. The MOT history shows minor consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical or structural failures. In January 2021 at 17,541 miles, the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit. The February 2024 test at 32,228 miles identified rear brake pads wearing thin. While these are standard wear-and-tear items, the recurrence of tyre and brake issues suggests the vehicle is being driven in a manner that necessitates regular attention to consumables. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. Although the most recent tests show no defects, the history of thinning brake pads and worn tyres warrants a check of the remaining pad depth, disc surface condition, and tyre tread patterns across all four corners. Given the recent increase in annual mileage, checking the condition of suspension components and bushings would also be a prudent measure to ensure the vehicle remains in its current stable condition.
