2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.3L Petrol · SY68 VDA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend across the last five years. The most recent inspection on 22 July 2025 at 30,737 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components remain within tolerance. This string of clean passes suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,842 miles per year. Between December 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 17,789 miles, reflecting light annual use or significant periods of inactivity. The gap of 6,163 miles between the July 2024 and 2025 tests shows a consistent low-usage profile. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake disc corrosion due to lack of use. Since the MOT record shows no historical faults, a physical inspection should focus on potential issues common to low-mileage cars. You must check for signs of drying or cracking in the suspension bushes and tyres, which can occur over time regardless of tread depth. Examine the brake discs for heavy surface pitting or seizing caused by the vehicle sitting stationary for long periods. Given the clean history, the structural integrity appears sound, but verifying the absence of early-stage underbody corrosion remains a standard precaution for a vehicle of this age.
