2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · PO68 AYX

The vehicle passed the most recent MOT on 5 November 2025 at 53,838 miles with no defects, indicating it is currently roadworthy, but the preceding test on 31 October 2025 at 53,837 miles recorded a failure for engine MIL inoperative and tyre damage, showing a recent corrective episode that was resolved before the latest inspection. The maintenance trend therefore improved after the October failure, though earlier records show periodic brake pad wear and tyre deterioration. The odometer reading has risen from 20,368 miles in November 2021 to 53,838 miles in November 2025, averaging about 6,730 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2018 model. Notable acceleration occurred between November 2021 and November 2023, when mileage increased by over 23,000 miles in two years, and a further 6,200 miles in the following year, suggesting periods of intensified use rather than prolonged standing. The recurring thin rear brake pads and exposed cord on the near‑side rear tyre indicate potential suspension or alignment wear that should be examined for worn bushes, coil springs and binding calipers; the off‑side rear tyre cracking points to possible uneven tread wear or suspension mis‑alignment. The 2025 engine MIL failure warrants verification of the engine management system, exhaust emissions and associated sensors. A physical inspection should focus on brake disc condition, suspension component integrity, tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and check for any structural rust or damage to the chassis.
