2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FS57 AYR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing over the last three years. The most recent inspection in September 2025 at 74,057 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,250 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 53,270 miles and the September 2025 test at 74,057 miles, the car covered 20,787 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 6,900 miles per annum during that specific interval. The vehicle has not been subjected to excessive stress or neglected-high-mileage drivetrain components. The only anomaly in the record is a failure on 19 September 2023 at 56,935 miles, which was rectified immediately for a successful retest that same day. While the specific cause of that failure is not detailed in the summary, the lack of subsequent advisories in the following two years suggests the issue was likely a minor consumable or a component replacement rather than a systemic structural fault. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, check for binding brake calipers, and examine for any signs of surface corrosion on the sills or under pans, as these are common areas of wear for a Qashqai of this age despite a clean MOT history.
