2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FN68 LRJ

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 33,807 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 14 March 2025 at 31,018 miles. Across the available history the vehicle has shown no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards. Recorded mileage sits at 33,807 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,226 miles per year. The test on 6 April 2023 captured 19,401 miles, rising to 25,168 by 18 March 2024, then 31,018 by March 2025 and 33,807 by September 2025. The annual accumulation is low and even, with no sudden jumps that would imply heavy use. A failed entry on 18 March 2024 at 25,168 miles shows no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-based failure. Given the clean record, the prior owner appears to have kept the vehicle lightly used and well maintained. Low mileage over long periods can allow tyres, brake discs and suspension bushes to degrade through age and standing rather than wear. A buyer should still verify tyre sidewall condition, check for flat spots on the rubber, and confirm the brake calipers are free and not seized from disuse. In person, inspect the underbody and sills for corrosion given the vehicle's age, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. The absence of advisories across five tests is a positive signal, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to catch age-related perishing not visible to the MOT tester.
