2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · SE18 KFR

The vehicle appears to be in a stable state of roadworthiness following its most recent MOT pass on 14 February 2026 at 76,905 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows a period of fluctuating maintenance requirements. The 2025 test at 68,031 miles flagged perishing suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front, alongside thinning rear brake pads. These issues seem to have been addressed, as the subsequent 2026 inspection shows a clean certificate, indicating a recent period of corrective maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 29,318 miles in March 2021 to the current 76,905 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which suggests regular use. The incremental increase in mileage between tests aligns with standard commuting or general utility driving. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension components and braking system. While the 2025 advisories regarding perishing suspension arm bushes were not repeated in 2026, a thorough check of the bushes and ball joints is necessary to ensure the previous repairs were robust. The history also shows recurring issues with brake wear, including thin pads in 2025 and worn discs in 2022. Checking the thickness of the front discs and the condition of the pads will confirm if the braking system is currently performing to standard. The tyre history suggests a pattern of somewhat aggressive use or poor road conditions, with multiple tests between 2022 and 2023 flagging various cuts and nails in the sidewalls and treads. Although the 2026 record is clear, the buyer should inspect the current tread depth and sidewall integrity across all four tyres. The windscreen also showed damage in 2023 and 2024, so ensuring the glass is free from new chips or cracks is a sensible final check.
