2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DL18 FVM

The Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 May 2025 at 81,736 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVLA data shows clean passes in 2023 and 2024 alongside paired fail-and-pass entries on the same test dates in 2024 and 2025, yet no defects were recorded on any failure. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decay. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,200 miles, consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 60,703 miles at the 24 May 2023 test to 71,698 miles by 22 May 2024, then to 81,736 miles by 20 May 2025. The 9,995 and 10,038 mile yearly increments show steady, unremarkable accumulation with no sudden gaps or high-load spikes pointing to neglected standing or commercial abuse. No advisories or defects appear across the three-year record, so the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues at the cited mileages. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, coil springs, and binding calipers given the Qashqai's age and the absence of any flagged wear items that commonly emerge by 80,000 miles. The repeated same-day fail-pass cycles with zero defects warrant a check of the DVSA gateway entry with the selling dealer to confirm no omitted data. Absent any recorded fault, the vehicle's paper history implies disciplined upkeep, but undocumented wear on consumables remains a risk only a workshop ramp can confirm.
