Our Verdict
A recommended purchase provided the serv
When inspecting this vehicle, verify that the fractured offside front coil spring and worn front tyres identified in October 2024 were replaced with quality parts. Review the service history specifically for the 1.2L engine to ensure oil changes have been performed at the recommended intervals, as this is critical for the longevity of this specific engine variant.
Negotiate based on the age of the current tyres; the MOT history shows a pattern of rear tyres perishing or cracking between 2023 and 2024, suggesting they may have been left for a significant period. Ensure all four tyres now have healthy tread and no sidewall cracking.
The 1.2L petrol engine offers a balance of efficiency and performance for a crossover, though fuel costs will vary based on urban versus motorway use. This model typically falls into a mid-range insurance group, making it relatively affordable to cover for most UK drivers.
Annual costs will include the standard VED road tax for a 2018 petrol vehicle and routine maintenance. Given the model's common failure points like headlamps and ball joints, a modest budget for annual wear-and-tear parts is advised. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,300-£1,700.
Pay close attention to the front suspension and steering. Given the recorded failure of an offside front coil spring in 2024, check for any uneven ride height or knocking sounds when driving over bumps. Additionally, inspect the headlamps for condensation or failure, as these are a common weak point across the Qashqai range according to aggregate data.
Carefully examine all four tyres. The MOT history shows repeated advisories for cracking and perishing on the rear tyres in February 2023 and February 2024, as well as a failure for worn front tyres in October 2024. Ensure the current set is not aged or showing signs of sidewall degradation.
This blue 2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L petrol has recorded 58,565 miles, which is lower than the model average. While the most recent MOT in October 2025 was passed without defects, the history shows a failure in 2024 involving front tyres and a fractured coil spring. The overall record is relatively stable, with most issues being wear-and-tear items.
The Qashqai has an average MOT pass rate of 79.3%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, tyres, and ball joints.
