2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DP68 FWE

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, though the records indicate a minor trend of developing component wear. The most recent test in June 2025 at 49,878 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding a defective offside wiper blade. This represents an improvement from the previous year's test where a worn offside suspension arm bush was identified, though the underlying mechanical components are beginning to show signs of age. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 29,356 miles in late 2021 to nearly 50,000 miles by mid-2025. This low-annual usage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, though the advisory for perishing rear tyres in 2022 at 34,882 miles highlights that rubber components are degrading over time regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry. The worn suspension arm bush noted in July 2024 at 44,220 miles suggests that the rubber bushings in the front assembly are failing, which can lead to uneven tyre wear or steering instability if not replaced. Check the remaining tyres for further sidewall cracking or dry rot, as the 2022 advisory indicates the vehicle is prone to age-related rubber degradation due to low mileage.
