Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspection. While the recent MOT history shows successful passes, the vehicle has recorded two failures in the last two years, which warrants a closer look at maintenance habits.
Given the recorded MOT failures in 2024 and 2025, you should request a full service history to see if these failures were related to routine wear-and-tear items or more significant mechanical issues. Since the specific reasons for the failures weren't listed in the MOT summary, ask the seller directly what required repair to pass the 2024 and 2025 tests.
Negotiate based on the higher-than-average mileage. For a diesel Qashqai of this age, ensure the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) has been adequately maintained, as high-mileage diesel engines can face issues if used primarily for short city trips. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or brake issues, as these are common failure points for this model type.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Qashqai is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though fuel costs will depend heavily on your annual mileage. It typically falls into a mid-range insurance group and tax band common for mid-sized SUVs.
Maintenance costs should be factored in for items like tyres and brake pads, which are statistically common failure points for this model. Expect typical diesel maintenance requirements, including regular oil changes and potential DPF considerations as the vehicle approaches higher mileage milestones.
Focus your inspection on the consumables. The model aggregate data suggests that tyres, headlamps, and brake pads are the most frequent reasons for MOT failures in this vehicle class; check the tread depth and condition of all tyres and the clarity of the headlamp lenses.
Because the vehicle failed its MOT in May 2025 and May 2024 just before passing, look for evidence of recent work in the service book. Inspect the braking system thoroughly, including pads and discs, and check the underside for any signs of leaks or excessive corrosion that might have triggered previous failures.
This 2018 Nissan Qashqai (WF68AAO) is a 1.6L diesel model currently sitting at 76,283 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures immediately preceding successful tests in both 2024 and 2025, though no specific defect types were recorded in the data provided. The mileage is significantly higher than the model aggregate average of 7,757 miles per year.
Based on an aggregate of over 574,000 vehicles, this model has an average MOT pass rate of 79.6%.
