2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · SL18 EPE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on June 24, 2025, 13,629 miles. The maintenance trend is currently improving, as the multiple defect advisories recorded in the previous year appear to have been addressed. The lack of any recorded faults in the most recent test suggests the owner responded to the mechanical and wear-related issues identified during the 2024 inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but low-usage pattern, moving from 8,575 miles in May 2021 to 13,629 miles in 2025. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent use often leads to the specific degradation of rubber-based parts and braking surfaces due to lack of movement. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the tyres, as the history shows recurring cracking and perishing across all four corners in 2021 and 2024. Even with sufficient tread depth, the rubber likely outlives its age rather than mileage. The 2024 test also flagged thin rear brake pads and pitted, scored rear brake discs. You should verify that these components were replaced and check for fresh corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles sit stationary. Given the low usage, inspect the undercarriage for signs of surface rust or seized bolts which are common in low-mile cars. The structural integrity appears sound from the records, but the primary focus should remain on the age-related degradation of consumables rather than mileage-related fatigue.
