2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · SH68 UPO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent inspection conducted in May 2026 at 41,032 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced an advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre showing signs of perishing. This is the only defect recorded in the provided history, suggesting that the vehicle has generally avoided significant mechanical failures or structural degradation during its service life. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 15,232 miles and the May 2026 test at 41,032 miles, the car covered roughly 26,000 miles, indicating light-duty use. This low usage typically translates to reduced wear on drivetrain components, engine internals, and brake assemblies. However, the long intervals between tests and the recent tyre advisory highlight the risk of age-related degradation often seen in vehicles that sit for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exposed rubber components, as the 2026 advisory indicates the tyres are beginning to fail despite low tread wear. Check for sidewall cracking on all tyres and suspension arm bushings, which can become brittle over eight years regardless of mileage driven. Since the MOT record shows no history of brake issues or exhaust corrosion, the tester should verify the condition of brake discs for pitting to ensure the low mileage has not led to excessive surface rust on the braking system.
