2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · YA18 RVP

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai presents a mixed maintenance record, with the most recent MOT on 2025-04-14 showing a pass at 111,166 miles. However, a prior fail on the same date suggests unresolved issues, though no defects were logged. The 2025-03-08 fail at 110,016 miles and the 2024-02-03 pass at 97,928 miles indicate inconsistent compliance. While the latest test shows no defects, the proximity of the fail and pass on identical dates raises questions about the accuracy of the record or potential unresolved concerns. Overall, the trend shows no clear improvement but no overt deterioration either. The vehicle’s mileage of 111,166 miles over eight years equates to an average of 13,896 miles annually, significantly higher than typical usage. This rapid accumulation suggests frequent use, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain parts. Notably, the jump from 97,928 miles (2024-02-03) to 110,016 miles (2025-03-08) spans 12,088 miles in 13 months, followed by just 1,150 miles in a single month. Such irregularities may reflect inconsistent usage patterns or odometer discrepancies, warranting closer scrutiny of wear indicators. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which can arise from excessive use. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion risks increase with age. While the MOT history lacks recorded defects, the vehicle’s usage profile and recent testing anomalies justify a professional assessment of critical mechanical and body components to confirm roadworthiness.
