2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DL18 ACU

This Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 27 March 2026 at 95,488 miles with no defects recorded. While the record shows two instances of immediate failure followed by a pass on the same day, specifically on 26 March 2026 and 2 July 2024, the lack of detailed defect descriptions suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly on site. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight year old vehicle. It covered 10,764 miles between 2 July 2024 and 4 July 2025, followed by a further 6,224 miles leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady increase indicates the car has been in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps maintain the health of seals and battery components. The absence of any recorded advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle approaching 100,000 miles. Typically, a car of this age and mileage would show wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or tyre tread. The lack of flagged consumables suggests either a very rigorous preventative maintenance regime by the previous owner or a lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Qashqai wear points that the MOT may have overlooked. Check for any signs of corrosion on the rear subframe and inspect the condition of the brake pads and discs. Given the mileage, verifying the service history for timing chain or belt intervals and transmission fluid changes is essential to ensure the mechanical longevity of the drivetrain.
