2011 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Diesel · LP11 NCD

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status due to an erratic history of MOT testing results. While the most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 134,111 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, the preceding record shows a pattern of reactive maintenance. The trend is not stable, as the car underwent three separate tests within a short window in 2024, suggesting that the owner only addressed issues when forced by inspection failures rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap between the May 2023 test at 110,493 miles and the May 2024 test at 121,632 miles, during which the car covered over 11,000 miles. However, the rapid-fire testing just 800 miles apart between May 2024 and July 2024 indicates either a period of mechanical instability or a desperate attempt to pass the vehicle after repeated failures without performing the necessary repairs. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system, as the record lacks specific defect data to explain the multiple failures. Given the age and mileage of this Qashqai, attention should be paid to structural corrosion on the subframe and the condition of the rear control arm bushes. The lack of recorded defects on the failed tests is highly unusual and suggests the vehicle may have failed on non-specific mechanical items or administrative issues that were not properly documented, leaving the true mechanical state of the drivetrain unknown.
