2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · DP67 OFU

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT as of 10 April 2026 at 42,219 miles, indicating that the most recent inspection found it road‑legal. The preceding failure on 8 April 2026, which listed anti‑roll bar linkage dust‑cover wear, lower suspension arm dust‑cover deterioration, brake disc scoring and an active engine MIL, was remedied within two days, suggesting a short‑term issue rather than a chronic decline. Overall the maintenance trend appears stable, with the last year’s tests passing without new major defects. Across eight years the odometer shows 42,219 miles, averaging roughly 5,300 miles per annum – well below the typical UK average for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a steady increase from 23,745 miles in May 2021 to 42,219 miles in April 2026, with no sudden spikes, indicating light usage rather than periods of high mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear tyres, which have been flagged for slight cracking on both sides in the April 2026 test, and confirm that the tyre tread depth remains above the legal minimum. The brake discs, noted as worn and scored in the 8 April 2026 failure, merit a visual inspection for excessive pitting and a measurement of disc thickness. The anti‑roll bar linkage and lower suspension arm dust‑covers, previously reported as allowing dirt ingress, should be examined for integrity and replaced if compromised. Finally, a quick check for any active engine MIL warning and a confirmation that the oil leak remains non‑excessive will complete the assessment.
