2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · VE67 MTY

This Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 23 January 2026 at 37,651 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets all legal safety and environmental standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage history reveals a highly unusual usage pattern. Between 18 May 2022 and 4 February 2025, the vehicle covered only 677 miles, averaging fewer than 250 miles per year. This indicates a prolonged period of dormancy. However, there was a significant spike in usage between February 2025 and January 2026, where the odometer jumped from 20,888 to 37,651 miles. The car transitioned from a low-use city or secondary vehicle to a primary driver in under a year. While the MOT record is devoid of flagged faults, the period of inactivity poses specific risks. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system for signs of seizure or pitting on the brake discs, as standing vehicles often develop binding calipers. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or perishing, even if the tread depth remains legal. The sudden increase in annual mileage means the vehicle is now entering a phase of more rapid wear. An inspector should verify the current state of the engine oil and coolant, as the previous long-term storage may have led to fluid degradation. Checking the battery health is also advisable given the history of low usage prior to 2025.
