2011 NISSAN QASHQAI1.6L Petrol

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate following a failure on 10 April 2026 at 65,038 miles. While the record shows no specific defects for that failure, the lack of a subsequent pass means the car is not legally roadworthy for use on public roads. Prior to this, the maintenance trend appeared exceptionally stable, with clean passes recorded annually from April 2022 through April 2025. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 4,336 miles per year. The odometer readings show consistent, low-intensity use, increasing from 47,556 miles in April 2022 to 65,038 miles by April 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been driven regularly in short bursts rather than sitting dormant for years, which typically reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished seals. A buyer must investigate why the vehicle failed its most recent test despite no defects being listed in the provided data. Since the previous four tests were clean, the current failure is an anomaly that requires clarification. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on rubber components and suspension bushes that may have degraded due to age rather than wear. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and subframes, as low-mileage cars in the UK often suffer from rust if they have spent significant time in damp environments. Verify the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting and check the tyre dates to ensure the rubber has not hardened over time. These age-related issues often bypass MOT checks until they become critical failures.
