2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · JB03 RED

This Nissan Qashqai presents a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across its five most recent tests, spanning from October 2023 to September 2025. The most recent entries—both a pass and a fail on the same day in September 2025 at 107,188 and 107,190 miles—suggest the vehicle met all roadworthiness criteria at the time of testing, with no advisories or major wear items outstanding. The absence of recurring faults or advisories in any of the tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no signs of worsening mechanical or structural issues. Such consistency is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage, implying either meticulous upkeep by previous owners or a model known for reliability in these areas. The mileage accumulation of 107,190 miles over roughly 15 years aligns closely with the average annual mileage of around 7,146 miles, reflecting typical usage without extreme wear patterns. Notably, the gaps between tests—approximately 12 months apart—are standard, with mileage increments of roughly 9,000–11,000 miles per year. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could otherwise signal neglect or heavy usage. The lack of advisories or defects in any test further supports the idea that the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no obvious signs of deferred repairs or cost-cutting measures. For a prospective buyer, the absence of MOT defects does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Given the vehicle’s age, particular attention should be paid to suspension components—such as control arm bushes, coil springs, and ball joints—which are prone to wear even without MOT flagging. Brake system integrity should also be verified, including the condition of brake discs, pads, and calipers, as binding or uneven wear can develop without immediate MOT consequences. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels, should be checked for hidden rust, as this can compromise long-term safety. Finally, while the MOT history is clean, a professional inspection of fluid levels, tyre condition, and drivetrain health—particularly the differential and CV joints—would provide additional reassurance given the vehicle’s mileage and age.
