2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DG18 AVR

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-10 at 43,318 miles recording a pass and no defects. All prior tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, and the vehicle’s low mileage of 43,318 miles for its age suggests limited operational wear. The absence of advisories or failures in the latest test confirms no immediate safety risks. The mileage progression shows annual increments of approximately 4,500–5,000 miles, aligning with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Notably, the 2023-02-21 test recorded a failure at 30,200 miles, yet no defects were listed, which may reflect a data inconsistency or procedural error. Subsequent tests at 30,200, 35,034, 39,575, and 43,318 miles all passed without issues, suggesting the failure was an anomaly. The sparse defect history implies the vehicle has not encountered significant mechanical stress, though the low mileage could indicate periods of inactivity, potentially affecting component longevity. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for signs of age-related stiffness, given the low usage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as prolonged inactivity may affect their condition. Structural integrity remains unverified by the record, so a visual assessment for rust or panel damage is advisable. The absence of emissions or exhaust-related failures in recent tests supports functional systems, but a live inspection of the underbody and brake assemblies is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical state.
