2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · MM67 DWA

A consistent pattern of clean MOT results has defined this vehicle's recent history, with the most recent test on 09 December 2025 showing no recorded defects. While the 2023 inspection flagged specific issues regarding brake pad thickness and tyre condition, the subsequent two years of testing have returned with no advisories or failures. This indicates a period of stable roadworthiness following the resolution of those earlier wear-related items. The vehicle has covered 60,466 miles over its eight-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,558 miles. This usage profile is typical for a modern passenger vehicle and suggests a moderate level of mechanical wear on consumable components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition, given the advisory for thin front brake pads recorded in January 2023. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any uneven braking force, pedal pulsation, or squealing noises when applying the brakes, which could indicate uneven pad wear or issues with the calipers. Although no recent advisories were noted, verifying the remaining life of the front pads and the condition of the brake discs is a necessary step to ensure the previous advisory was addressed with appropriate parts. The 2023 advisory regarding cracking or perishing on the nearside and offside rear tyres also warrants a physical inspection of the sidewalls and tread depth. Even if the tyres appear to have sufficient tread, look for fine cracks in the rubber which can indicate age-related degradation. On the road, listen for increased road noise or vibrations from the rear of the vehicle, which can sometimes be a symptom of tyre deformation or uneven wear. Ensuring the current tyre set is free from such structural aging is vital for maintaining consistent grip and handling.
