2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BK61 FYG

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 at 125,582 miles with no recorded defects, indicating strong current roadworthiness. This follows a clean test in May 2024 and two earlier passes in 2023 and 2024, suggesting a generally stable maintenance trend. The brief failure in early May 2025 was resolved within days, with repairs made to the horn, track rod end dust cover, airbag warning lamp, and replacement of worn brake pads and a degraded front tyre. The prompt rectification of multiple items indicates attentive ownership during that period, and the absence of recurring advisories since then points to improving or consistently maintained condition. The car has accumulated roughly 125,582 miles over approximately 15 years, averaging about 8,372 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical usage for its age. Mileage progression is consistent across annual checks, with around 12,400 miles added between May 2025 and May 2026, and similar increments in prior years—no sudden jumps or prolonged stagnation are evident. The regular annual testing without gaps suggests ongoing use and care, with no extended periods off the road apparent from the record. Despite the clean recent history, buyers should still inspect components historically prone to wear on this model. The 2025 failure highlighted nearside front suspension and steering elements, specifically the track rod end dust cover, which can allow contamination if compromised—inspect for play or wear in steering joints and associated rubber boots. Brake pad wear was noted at both front and rear positions in 2025; given the mileage, verify current pad and disc condition, especially if service records don’t confirm recent replacement. While no structural corrosion or suspension bush failures appear in the MOT logs, a thorough underbody inspection is prudent for surface rust and mounting point integrity, particularly around control arms and subframes, as these are common ageing points on vehicles of this vintage and usage level.
