2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · EG02 ALS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear history of consistent maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 September 2025 at 57,060 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in late August 2024, the immediate pass the following day suggests that the identified issues were minor and rectified quickly rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,132 miles per year. Between September 2022 (32,148 miles) and September 2023 (36,725 miles), the car covered roughly 4,600 miles. A more significant increase in usage occurred between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where the vehicle clocked 14,591 miles in twelve months. This spike suggests a shift in usage habits but the overall mileage remains well within the threshold for premature wear on drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely associated with the 2024 failure, although the specific reason was not detailed in the summary provided. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear is advisable, as these parts often perish over time regardless of low mileage. Additionally examine the brake discs for uneven corrosion and check the underbody for signs of structural rust to ensure the lack of recent advisories reflects the genuine condition of the chassis.
