2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · LS18 EJF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 July 2025 at 38,547 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfect record across the previous three years. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been kept in good condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 24,723 miles and the July 2025 test at 38,547 miles, the car covered 13,824 miles, indicating a period of low-intensity use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking components, it can occasionally lead to age-related issues such as perished rubber seals or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods. Given the lack of recorded faults in the MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by time rather than high use. Inspect the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and coil springs, for cracking or perishing due to age. Additionally, check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as low-frequency use can prevent the rotors from cleaning themselves. The tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking, as rubber hardens over time despite having sufficient tread depth.
