2011 Nissan Qashqai N-TEC DCI 1.5L Diesel · CV11 YNP

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 174,349 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the vehicle transitioned from failures in previous years to consecutive clean passes. While the history indicates intermittent issues requiring attention, the clean sheet on the most recent test suggests that the previous owner addressed necessary mechanical repairs and maintained the vehicle to a functional standard for the present. The mileage profile is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. There is a notable period of activity between December 2023 and March 2025, where the car covered over 21,000 miles in just fourteen months. This high-intensity usage places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The gap between the February 2025 failure and the March 2025 pass shows a short interval for the owner to rectify the faults that caused the initial failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear on this model. Given the 174,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential to identify excessive play or perished rubber. The history of previous failures suggests that mechanical components require frequent monitoring, so the brakes should be tested for binding calipers or thin discs. Furthermore, inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and exhaust mounting points for corrosion, as rust is a common concern for Qashqais of this age and mileage.
