2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · FX18 AMV

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 21 May 2024 at 62,414 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly at 51,990 miles on 24 April 2023 and at 41,840 miles on 28 April 2022. The record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across any test, indicating no worsening or recurring defect pattern over the observed period. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 41,838 miles at the April 2022 test to 51,989 miles by April 2023, then to 62,414 miles by May 2024. This reflects steady annual use with no abrupt gaps or excessive accumulation that would flag accelerated wear on drivetrain or suspension components. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with no consumable or structural issues logged at any stage. The April 2022 and April 2023 entries each show an initial failure at 41,838 and 51,989 miles respectively, immediately followed by a pass at 41,840 and 51,990 miles on the same dates with no defects recorded. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical faults, as no defects were cited on either failure. A buyer should still verify the VIN and test documentation to confirm the failures were not suppressed fault entries. Given the absence of flagged corrosion, brake binding, suspension bush wear, or exhaust emission concerns in the official history, in-person inspection should focus on confirming structural integrity and checking consumables such as tyre tread depth and brake disc condition that fall outside MOT advisory thresholds. The clean record implies previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the twin same-day fail-pass pairs warrant a check of the vehicle's full DVSA profile before purchase.
