2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · FD11 KKL

The 2026‑03‑18 MOT passed with the vehicle at 85,806 miles, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the preceding 2026‑03‑17 failure at the same mileage—caused by a near‑side rear tyre tear—demonstrates a recent mechanical lapse that was promptly corrected; overall the maintenance trend shows improvement after earlier failures, though recurring suspension and brake wear indicate persistent concerns. The mileage record spans 15 years from 2011 to 2026, accumulating roughly 5,720 miles annually, a rate consistent with regular, moderate use rather than extended periods of inactivity; mileage increments between consecutive tests range from 3,000 to 6,800 miles, with no abrupt surges that would suggest accelerated wear on consumables or drivetrain components. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension arms, ball joints and track‑rod ends for excessive play or corrosion, examine the brake discs for pitting or scoring beyond the noted wear limits, verify tyre tread depth and look for any bulges or sidewall damage, and assess the underbody and rear sub‑frame for structural rust, while confirming that the recent tyre repair and any previous lighting or wiper faults have been fully remedied.
