2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · GV11 AEG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-17 at 89,789 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on the same date resulted in a fail, though no defects were noted. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or retests without underlying issues. The 2024-06-14 pass at 82,806 miles and 2023-12-12 pass at 80,811 miles further confirm a pattern of compliance, with no recurring mechanical faults documented. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the latest test implies the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards, though the lack of defect details limits deeper analysis. The vehicle’s mileage of 89,789 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 5,986 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, suspension, and engine seals. Notably, the 2023-12-12 test to 2024-06-14 saw a 2,000-mile increase over six months, followed by a 7,000-mile jump by 2025-06-17. Such uneven accumulation might accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though no such issues were flagged in the MOT records. The sparse defect data limits definitive conclusions about long-term wear trends. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can lead to dry rot or stiffness. The exhaust system and brake components should also be checked for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been stored without regular use. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, the repeated retests without recorded defects warrant scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history. A professional inspection is advised to confirm the condition of electrical systems, battery health, and potential hidden wear from irregular usage patterns.
