2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · MF68 MYG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear progression toward component degradation and deferred preventative care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 73,651 miles passed, the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and a smooth brake pedal. This indicates a shift from the clean 2022 record to a period of reactive maintenance, suggesting that consumables are now only being addressed as they approach failure thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between the 36,199 miles in February 2022 and 73,651 miles in March 2026, the car covered roughly 37,500 miles, representing a steady usage profile. However, the frequency of mechanical advisories increasing between 2023 and 2026 suggests that while the mileage is typical, the vehicle is experiencing accelerated wear on the braking hardware and wheel-related components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and wheel assemblies. The record shows a history of pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs dating back to 2023, followed by a distorted nearside front road wheel noted in 2024. These issues often stem from seized calipers or impact damage, which should be checked for uneven pad wear or vibration during a test drive. Additionally, the recurring de perishing of tyres in 2023 and the edge wear noted in 2026 necessitate a check of the suspension alignment and bushes to ensure worn components are not causing premature tyre failure.
