2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · Y21 LAJ

The Nissan Qashqai is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 6 August 2025 recording a pass at 60 564 miles with no defects noted. The absence of any failures across the five tests indicates a stable maintenance pattern; the vehicle has not shown a worsening or improving trend, simply consistent compliance. Mileage accumulation from the 2022‑05‑05 test at 31 464 miles to the 2025‑08‑06 test at 60 564 miles represents roughly 29 100 miles over 3.25 years, an average of about 8 950 miles per year. This rate is slightly above the typical 7 570 miles per year for an eight‑year‑old model, yet the increments between the intermediate tests (48 918 miles in April 2024, 51 961 miles in August 2024) show a steady rather than a sudden increase. The test intervals are regular and the record is relatively complete, with no unexplained gaps. Although the MOT history is clean, a prospective buyer should still examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, the tyre tread depth across all four wheels, the exhaust system for rust or leaks, and the underbody panels for structural corrosion. These components are consumables or subject to environmental degradation and may have deteriorated since the last test, even though no faults were recorded. A visual inspection for rust spots, a manual check of brake pedal feel, and a tyre pressure gauge reading will provide additional confidence in the vehicle’s condition.
