2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · PY67 EVH

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-12 at 93,919 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, a prior failure on 2025-08-03 at 93,387 miles also showed no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural issue rather than mechanical failure. The absence of recorded faults in all prior tests from 2020 to 2023 indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no recurring issues affecting brakes, suspension, or structural integrity. The vehicle appears to have been maintained to meet legal standards, though the recent failure without explanation warrants scrutiny. The mileage progression aligns with an average of 11,740 miles annually, consistent with typical usage for an 8-year-old vehicle. Tests were conducted at 52,559 (2020), 66,382 (2022), 81,624 (2023), and 93,387 (2025) miles, showing regular intervals of 12–18 months. The gap between the last test in 2025 and today’s date of 2026-07-18 exceeds 11 months, which may indicate reduced usage or a lack of recent inspection. No anomalies in wear or corrosion were flagged in the history, but the sparse data limits insight into long-term mechanical trends. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the vehicle’s age. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop without immediate MOT failures. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody or chassis, warrants attention, as it often progresses unnoticed. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee fault-free operation, and a pre-purchase inspection is strongly advised to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the MOT records.
