2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DC18 NYU

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai remains roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-02 confirming no defects at 82,188 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability, as the vehicle has passed all tests since 2022, including the 2024-06-03 test at 74,590 miles. A failed test on 2024-06-03 at 74,588 miles is noted, though no defects were recorded, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-compliance unrelated to mechanical integrity. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the history. The vehicle’s mileage of 82,188 miles aligns with an average of 10,274 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. A gap between the 2023-05-04 test (63,156 miles) and 2024-06-03 test (74,590 miles) indicates a 11,434-mile increase over 13 months, which may signal periods of reduced use or intermittent operation. No rapid accumulation of mileage suggests excessive wear on consumables, though the absence of tyre or brake-related advisories in the record implies consistent maintenance. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, as prolonged inactivity could affect bushes or coil springs, and inspect brake systems for hidden corrosion, given the lack of specific MOT notes on these areas. The absence of structural rust or emission-related failures is reassuring, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s overall state, particularly around the exhaust system and underbody. No urgent mechanical concerns are indicated by the MOT history.
