2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DL18 AFF

This Nissan Qashqai presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 28 January 2026 at 70,776 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean certificates dating back to April 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the typical degradation seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is steady and aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the April 2022 test at 41,605 miles and the January 2026 test at 70,776 miles, the car covered 29,171 miles. The annual increments remain consistent, with approximately 7,000 miles added between the February 2024 and January 2025 tests. There are no erratic jumps or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden mechanical stagnation. The absence of any advisories over the last five tests is rare and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in the record. This lack of documented wear on consumables implies the previous owner likely replaced components before they reached a failure threshold. A physical inspection should still focus on common Qashqai wear points that MOT testers might overlook if they are not yet critical. Check the condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as these are consumables that may be nearing the end of their life given the 7,000-mile annual average. Verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine maintenance matches the clean MOT record.
