2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · TO10 BRY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-01-16 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded across the last three consecutive tests. This suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the duplicate entry for 2024-01-15—where a failure was followed immediately by a pass—raises minor suspicion. The absence of recurring advisories or defects over five years indicates no obvious mechanical trend, but the lack of test dates between 2025 and 2026 means the current roadworthiness cannot be verified beyond January 2026. The recorded mileage of 100,663 miles over approximately 15 years aligns with typical usage for this age, averaging around 6,700 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in the MOT history to indicate prolonged neglect or rapid wear, though the sparse data before 2023 means earlier maintenance habits remain unconfirmed. The most recent test date, just seven months ago, is acceptable for a used-car purchase, but a pre-purchase inspection is still essential to confirm no deferred issues. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes or uneven wear on brake discs could also emerge, despite no past failures. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, as this is a common silent risk in older Qashqai models. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are not recorded but could indicate underlying wear.
