2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FP18 HFT

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 June 2025 at 70,497 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from June 2022 to June 2024 also passed clean. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening wear or unresolved structural concerns. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,800 miles per year. The records show 36,646 miles at the June 2022 tests, rising to 45,506 by June 2023, 56,747 by June 2024, and 70,497 by June 2025. The progression is linear with no sudden jumps or dormant periods, and the clean test history suggests the previous owner kept to scheduled maintenance without neglecting consumables. On 11 June 2022 the vehicle failed initially then passed on the same day at 36,646 miles, with the DVSA entry showing no defects recorded for either outcome. This points to an administrative or tester error rather than a genuine mechanical fault, and no suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion issues were ever flagged. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody corrosion, and suspension components given the age, but the MOT data gives no specific trigger to suspect hidden defects. Verify service history and check tyre condition and wiper blades as routine consumables, since these were never listed as advisories.
