2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · ER05 MAZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows a stable maintenance trend following recent reactive repairs. The most recent test on August 6, 2025 at 32,100 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This shift from multiple advisories to a clean pass suggests the current owner is performing necessary maintenance once faults reach a threshold. The mileage profile is low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,012 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 19,503 miles and the August 2023 test at 23,047 miles, the car covered only 3,544 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can lead to degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion if the vehicle sits for long periods. The consistent annual testing intervals suggest a regular schedule despite the low usage. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system. The 2023 test at 23,047 miles flagged both front tyres for uneven inner edge wear, which typically points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Although the 2024 test at 27,909 miles noted thin brake pads, the subsequent 2025 pass confirms these were replaced. You should check the brake discs for pitting or thinning and ensure the handbrake mechanism is not seized due to the low-mile usage pattern.
