2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · GV11 AEK

The 2011 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its five consecutive MOT tests from 2021 to 2025. The most recent test on 2025-06-19 at 63,354 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with the vehicle’s consistent maintenance pattern. All prior tests, including the 2024-06-28 inspection at 58,797 miles and 2023-06-21 at 55,092 miles, similarly passed without issues. This unbroken record suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements, though it does not guarantee absence of latent mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 63,354 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 4,224 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual usage. The MOT history shows gradual mileage progression, with a notable 4,557-mile increase between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This suggests potential periods of reduced use or storage, which could affect components like battery life, fluid integrity, and rubber seals. The absence of advisories or defects in all tests indicates no immediate risks, but the low mileage may mask wear in systems not routinely tested, such as transmission fluid condition or differential health. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time regardless of mileage. Brake discs and calipers, though unremarked in the record, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly on a 15-year-old vehicle. Underbody corrosion, especially in areas prone to road salt exposure, should be checked, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust. The absence of structural integrity issues in MOT data is reassuring, but physical examination of the chassis and body panels remains critical to confirm no hidden damage or rust has developed.
