2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BK61 FYE

The 2011 Nissan Qashqai is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on September 29, 2025, at 131,876 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows some concerns, particularly with suspension components and brake wear, which have been recurring issues over the past few years. The vehicle's mileage of 131,876 miles over approximately 15 years translates to around 8,792 miles annually, which is consistent with typical usage for its age. Notably, there is a gap between the failed MOT on October 4, 2023, at 102,523 miles and the subsequent pass on October 10, 2023, at 102,525 miles, suggesting immediate rectification of critical issues such as brake pads and discs. The most recent tests indicate ongoing concerns with suspension ball joints and slight corrosion on the subframe, which, while not immediately dangerous, warrant attention. Buyers should inspect the suspension for any signs of excessive wear or play, particularly focusing on the ball joints and lower suspension arms. Additionally, the brake system requires thorough examination, including brake pads and discs, to ensure they meet legal standards and function correctly. The presence of corrosion on the rear subframe should also be assessed to confirm it has not progressed to a point of structural weakness. Regular maintenance and prompt replacement of worn parts will help mitigate these issues and maintain the vehicle's roadworthiness.
