2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DL18 ACV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 2 May 2025 at 109,813 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without chronic mechanical failures. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,727 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between April 2023 and April 2024, where the odometer rose from 76,316 to 92,818 miles. A further 17,000 miles were added by May 2025. This level of accumulation typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no advisories or recorded defects across multiple tests. While this suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the absence of any flagged wear on a car with nearly 110,000 miles is atypical. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for thinning and check the depth of the tyre treads, as these consumables are rarely replaced without being flagged in a test. Attention should be paid to the suspension and steering rack during a test drive. High-mileage Qashqais often develop play in the lower control arms or coil spring fatigue. Given the lack of recorded faults, a manual check for oil leaks around the engine and gearbox is recommended to ensure the internal health matches the clean MOT record.
