2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DL18 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 11 September 2025 at 51,546 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in previous years, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids major recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-intensity usage, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between the August 2022 test at 26,678 miles and the September 2023 test at 34,234 miles, the vehicle covered 7,556 miles, showing regular progression. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of stationary neglect or excessive long-distance motorway commuting. The low mileage generally reduces the wear on high-stress components like the engine drivetrain and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. The single failure recorded on 19 September 2023 at 34,234 miles is the only anomaly in an otherwise clean record. Since the vehicle passed immediately upon re-test, the specific fault was rectified quickly without recurring issues. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the rubber components, such arm bushes and tyres, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from age-related cracking regardless of distance. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for minor corrosion on the underside and verifying the condition of the brake discs is prudent to ensure the lack of advisories reflects genuine mechanical state rather than a superficial inspection.
