2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FG68 UPR

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 17 November 2025 at 53,702 miles. Every recorded MOT since 2021 has passed without a single defect, indicating a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner addressed wear items proactively rather than waiting for components to fail. The mileage accumulation tells an interesting story about the vehicle's recent usage. Between November 2021 and October 2024, the Qashqai covered a steady 4,000 to 5,000 miles annually, reflecting light, local use. However, the jump from 43,358 miles in October 2024 to 53,702 miles in November 2025 represents a sharp increase of 10,344 miles in just over a year. This sudden uptick suggests a shift to longer commutes or regular motorway driving, which places different demands on the drivetrain and consumables compared to the earlier low-mileage years. Despite the flawless MOT record, the recent surge in mileage warrants a focused physical inspection. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as increased mileage generates significant thermal cycling and wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for the cracking and fatigue that often accompany higher mileages. The exhaust system and its mountings should be checked for corrosion or leaks, particularly given the vehicle's age. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition also demand attention, as the recent high usage could have accelerated wear beyond what the clean MOT suggests.
