2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DX18 KVZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on its most recent MOT pass on 7 January 2025 at 18,759 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the car has passed its last three annual inspections without a single recorded defect or advisory. This indicates a vehicle in a high state of mechanical preservation. The mileage is remarkably low for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 2,345 miles per year. Between 2 March 2023 and 7 January 2025, the odometer increased by only 3,800 miles. Such low usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys, which can sometimes lead to different wear patterns than high-mileage motorway use. The MOT record shows two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing on the same day, specifically on 1 March 2023 and 27 February 2024. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly on site. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failure, structural corrosion, or suspension deterioration. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to inactivity rather than wear. Check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers and inspect the tyre sidewalls for flat spots or perishing, as the low mileage suggests the rubber may age out before the tread wears down. Verify the battery health and fluid levels to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing.
