2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · ND18 PPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented MOT history. The most recent test on July 18, 2025 at 53,719 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a curious failure just four days prior at 53,616 miles which also listed no specific defects. This administrative anomaly suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before retesting, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 28,785 miles and the July 2024 test at 45,280 miles, the car covered 16,495 miles, indicating a steady usage rate. The low cumulative mileage of 53,719 miles suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy stress, which typically results in less wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and engine internals compared to high-mileage examples. Since the record shows no recurring advisories for structural corrosion or mechanical brake issues, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of rubber components and fluids. Low-mileage vehicles can suffer from perished suspension arms or dried out seals if they sit stationary for long periods. The buyer should also check for surface pitting on the brake discs, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to oxidation despite a clean MOT record.
