2011 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · RJ61 AEZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean pass results. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 74,812 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have maintained their integrity over recent years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant gap in usage between July 2022 at 60,885 miles and July 2023 at 69,111 miles, where nearly 9,000 miles were covered in a single year. However, usage has dropped drastically recently, with only 35 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but risks issues related to rubber components and brake corrosion during long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Because the car has sat for long intervals, check for seized brake calipers or pitting on the brake discs which have not been used regularly. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, as these materials perish with age regardless of the distance driven. The single failure in July 2023 was rectified immediately with a pass, but a visual check of the underside remains necessary to ensure no hidden structural corrosion has developed on the chassis.
