NISSAN QASHQAI2011 · 1.5L Diesel

The current roadworthiness status of this vehicle is concerning due to the complete absence of MOT certification for over four years. The last successful test occurred on 8 February 2022 at 127,153 miles, meaning the vehicle has not undergone a statutory safety inspection since that date. While the final recorded test resulted in a pass, the lack of recent data prevents an objective assessment of the vehicle’s current mechanical condition, suggesting it may have been off the road or unregistered for a significant duration. The vehicle has covered 127,153 miles over approximately 15 years, averaging roughly 8,477 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent with typical domestic expectations for a vehicle of this age. However, the mileage has remained static at 127,153 miles between the February 2022 failure and the subsequent pass on the same day, indicating the vehicle was likely parked or stored immediately following its last documented inspection. The lack of mileage accumulation since 2022 is a critical factor, as long-term storage often leads to seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, and fuel system degradation. Prospective buyers must conduct a rigorous physical inspection to compensate for the significant gap in the MOT history. Focus specifically on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as prolonged periods of inactivity can accelerate hidden corrosion. You should also verify the condition of all suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to deterioration when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. Given the age and the extended lapse in testing, a full service including a change of all fluids and a thorough brake system overhaul is necessary before the vehicle can be considered reliable for daily use.
