2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DP68 HBX

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on May 14, 2025 at 67,766 miles passed with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a specific, fixable issue was identified and immediately rectified to achieve compliance. Since the November 2023 test, the vehicle has passed subsequent inspections without any recorded structural or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a family crossover, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between November 2023 at 48,893 miles and November 2024 at 61,844 miles, the vehicle covered 12,951 miles, showing a higher period of activity compared to the 5,922 miles covered leading up to May 2025. This regularity indicates consistent use, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components and brake systems to prevent seizing or corrosion associated with long periods of standing. While the record is currently clean of advisories, the recurring same-day failures in 2024 and 2025 warrant a close physical inspection of components most prone to sudden failure. A buyer should check for wear on suspension bushes, ball joints, and linkages, as these are common causes of immediate MOT failures. Given the age and mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs for thinning and checking the integrity of the exhaust system is essential to ensure no degradation is present that did not trigger a failure during the last test.
