2011 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · LD61 OUF

The 2022‑08‑22 MOT at 231,171 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and no evident worsening of mechanical condition since the previous test. No defects were noted in the 2021‑09‑03 or 2021‑08‑25 examinations, suggesting consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory shows a sharp rise after the 2021 tests: from 172,454 miles in August 2021 to 174,019 miles in September 2021, a gain of 1,565 miles in ten days, and then to 231,171 miles by August 2022, an increase of 57,152 miles over eleven months, averaging roughly 5,200 miles per month. At 15 years old, this equates to about 15,400 miles per year, a high figure that suggests intensive use and accelerated wear on consumables and structural components. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of binding or cracking, inspect the rear and front brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis rails, as the high mileage and age increase the likelihood of such issues. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and exhaust emission levels to verify basic consumable maintenance.
