2011 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · W11 NDA

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend confirmed across five consecutive annual tests. The examiner logged zero defects during the August 2025 examination at 61,013 miles, continuing an unbroken sequence of clear passes dating back to August 2021. This consistent compliance demonstrates that prior owners serviced the drivetrain, braking assembly, and emissions equipment proactively. The record shows a steady trajectory with no escalating mechanical issues. Odometer readings advance by approximately 1,600 miles annually, moving from 53,720 miles in August 2021 to 61,013 miles currently. The consistent yearly increments eliminate heavy motorway use or sudden mileage jumps, yet they signal extended garage periods common to low-usage cars. The MOT file contains only annual pass certificates, leaving the full service history undocumented, but the paper trail confirms moderate, regular driving. Inspectors must physically check suspension bushes, coil spring mounts, and brake caliper slides for stiffness or corrosion, since infrequent movement accelerates rubber hardening and seizing. Verify the rear wheel arches and chassis crossmembers for early-stage oxidation, examine tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, and test the handbrake cable tension against the parking lever travel. The clean documentation points to diligent maintenance, but a hands-on evaluation of fluid conditions, steering rack boots, and exhaust mounting points will reveal whether age-related wear compromised the running gear.
