2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · SL18 EOS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 6 May 2026 at 63,958 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend indicates a period of reactive servicing rather than preventative care. While the 2022 and 2023 tests were clean, the subsequent two years showed a decline in the condition of the braking system, which was only addressed prior to the latest successful test. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady accumulation from 28,202 miles in March 2022 to 63,958 miles in May 2026. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of standing, though the jump of nearly 8,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with the accelerated wear observed on the braking components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking assembly, as the history reveals recurring issues. The 2024 test at 44,750 miles flagged a thin offside front brake pad, followed by the 2025 test at 54,317 miles identifying both thin rear pads and pitted or scored rear brake discs. Although the 2026 test passed without defects, it is essential to verify that the discs and pads were actually replaced and to check for signs of caliper sticking or uneven wear which may have contributed to the pitting observed previously. Given that no structural corrosion or suspension faults have been noted, the primary concern remains the consistency of wear-item maintenance.
