Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
When viewing this Qashqai, prioritise a professional mechanical inspection. The 2024 MOT failure was extensive, covering track rod ends, drive shaft boots, and suspension arm ball joints; you must verify that these specific components have been replaced with high-quality parts rather than just being 'passed' after a cursory check.
Negotiate based on the recent trend of tyre-related advisories. The 2025 and 2026 MOTs both noted issues with rear tyres (cuts and wear), which may indicate a lack of recent preventative maintenance. Ask for evidence of a full service history to complement the MOT records, as the high mileage makes consistent oil changes and component replacements vital.
The 1598cc petrol engine typically sits in a moderate insurance group and tax band for a vehicle of this era. Fuel economy will be standard for a 2011 crossover, though high mileage can impact efficiency if maintenance is deferred.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the documented history of suspension and steering wear. Budget for more frequent replacement of consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushings, as the MOT data shows these are recurring points of failure for this specific car.
Focus heavily on the front-end steering and suspension. The 2024 failure highlighted excessive play in the offside front track rod end and suspension arm ball joint, alongside a split nearside front inner drive shaft CV boot. Even if repaired, these areas should be checked for any signs of new play or grease leakage.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The 2024 record noted fluctuating service brakes and thin rear pads. Additionally, inspect the tyres; the most recent MOTs in 2025 and 2026 specifically flagged rear tyre wear and damage. Finally, ensure the windscreen washer system is fully functional, as this was a recorded defect in 2024.
This 2011 white Nissan Qashqai with the 1.6L petrol engine has covered 135,572 miles as of May 2026. While it has passed its most recent MOT, the history reveals a significant failure in 2024 involving eight separate defects, including steering, braking, and suspension components. The mileage is considerably higher than the model average of 7,707 miles per year, which is expected for a 15-year-old vehicle but adds to the overall risk profile.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.3%, with ball joints and tyres being common failure points across the fleet.
