2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · UG03 ASH

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 13 March 2026 at 70,684 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern where the vehicle consistently meets minimum standards following initial test failures. The absence of defects on the passing certificates suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues identified during the testing process, as no long-term mechanical degradation or structural corrosion has been recorded over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 55,259 miles and the January 2025 test at 63,837 miles, the car covered 8,578 miles. This steady usage continued into early 2026, with an additional 6,847 miles recorded over the following fourteen months. Such a consistent mileage profile suggests regular road use rather than long periods ofກັບ, which can often lead to seized seals or degraded fluid components. While the passing records are clean, the repeated failures in January 2025 and March 2026 indicate that the vehicle frequently operates on the margin of legal compliance. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these are common points of failure on the Qashqai. Given the recent failures, a close check is also required on the brake system for uneven wear or binding calipers and to ensure that the previous failures were fully resolved rather than merely masked by a recurring mechanical issue.
