2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FG68 WMA

This 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and consistently clean MOT record. The most recent test, conducted on 13 October 2025 at 55,957 miles, passed with zero defects. This marks five consecutive years of first-time passes with no advisories or failures, indicating a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural issues. The trend is stable and positive, suggesting attentive ownership and proactive servicing. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the October 2021 test at 27,229 miles and the October 2025 test at 55,957 miles, the car covered 28,728 miles over four years, averaging roughly 7,182 miles annually. The annual increments are consistent, with no sudden spikes or suspiciously large gaps that might indicate long periods of disuse or odometer anomalies. This regular usage pattern supports even wear across consumable components rather than the accelerated deterioration seen on vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The absence of flagged defects is encouraging, but MOT tests only capture a snapshot in time. A test drive should focus on the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components age with time and mileage even when not flagged. Brake discs, pads, and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the vehicle's age. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners should be checked, along with the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. A close visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches is advisable to confirm there is no developing structural corrosion, especially around suspension mounting points and subframes. The 2018 Qashqai is approaching an age where rust can begin to appear if the car has been exposed to road salt without adequate underbody protection. While the MOT record provides strong reassurance, hands-on verification of these areas will confirm whether the vehicle's condition matches its paper trail.
