2011 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Diesel · DL60 TYV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a period of inconsistency. The most recent test in April 2025 at 85,014 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous issues identified in earlier tests were successfully addressed. While the car experienced failures in 2024 and early 2025, the subsequent clean passes suggest the owner is reactive to MOT advisory requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,668 miles per year. Data shows a significant burst of activity between February 2024 and February 2025, where the car covered over 4,600 miles in just twelve months. This suggests the vehicle may have sat for longer periods previously or is now used sporadically. Low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and tyres, despite the lack of mechanical wear from mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in February 2024 and February 2025, as the record does not detail the exact reasons for those declines. Given the proximity of these failures, it is likely they related to consumable items like brake pads, light bulbs, or wiper blades. You must also check for structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system, as low-mileage older vehicles are prone to surface rust if left stationary without regular airflow to keep moisture away.
