2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · ND67 JRO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 17 January 2022 at 87,821 miles returned a pass without a single defect or advisory notice. This indicates that the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard during that period, as no immediate mechanical failures or structural weaknesses were identified by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2021 test at 62,478 miles and the January 2022 test at 87,821 miles, the Qashqai covered 25,343 miles in a single year. This rate of approximately 25,000 miles per annum is slightly above the national average but does not suggest a pattern of erratic use. However, there is no recorded MOT data since early January 2022, meaning the vehicle is currently over four years overdue for its mandatory annual roadworthiness check. Since the record lacks recent technical advisories, a buyer must focus on mechanical components subject to wear over the 87,000-mile threshold. Physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers, which often degrade on higher-mileage SUVs. Given the significant gap in testing history, the buyer should also check the brake discs for thinning or binding calipers and inspect the underbody for developing structural corrosion that has not been captured since the 2022 inspection.
