2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FN61 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-04 at 110,165 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding test on 2025-09-03 at 110,149 miles failed despite no defects being noted, suggesting a possible procedural inconsistency or minor unresolved issue. The prior 2024-08-31 test at 103,142 miles passed without defects, while the 2024-08-30 test at 103,135 miles failed under similar conditions. This pattern of alternating passes and failures without recorded faults implies the vehicle may have had intermittent technical or administrative issues, though no structural or mechanical risks were documented. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,344 miles annually. From 2023-09-14 (93,982 miles) to 2024-08-31 (103,142 miles), the vehicle accrued 9,160 miles over 11 months, followed by 7,023 miles in the subsequent 12 months. This steady accumulation suggests consistent operation rather than prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. The MOT history lacks significant gaps, and the absence of recurring defects in the tests implies the owner addressed issues promptly. A buyer should verify the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Inspecting the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear is also advisable, as these components often degrade over time. While no structural rust or emission-related faults were flagged, a physical inspection of the exhaust system and underbody is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden damage. The MOT record indicates no critical risks, but the alternating pass/fail results warrant a thorough pre-purchase check to ensure all systems function reliably.
