2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · MF11 JVK

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent string of pass certificates over the last three years. While the February 2026 test initially recorded a failure, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass on the same day indicate a minor administrative or equipment-related issue rather than a systemic mechanical fault. The absence of any recorded advisories across the last four inspections suggests that previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing consumable wear before it reached the threshold of a formal tester notification. With a total of 95,586 miles accumulated over fifteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 6,370 miles per annum, which aligns with typical light-to-moderate usage patterns. The mileage progression remains linear and predictable, with an average of roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles added between each annual inspection since 2023. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has likely been kept in regular operation rather than left standing for extended periods, which reduces the risk of long-term storage issues such as seized calipers, perished rubber seals, or fuel system degradation. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension components and the exhaust system. Nissan Qashqai models of this vintage frequently exhibit wear in the front lower suspension arms and anti-roll bar drop links, which may not always trigger an MOT failure until play becomes excessive. You should also examine the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or uneven wear patterns, as low annual mileage can sometimes lead to light oxidation if the vehicle is not driven frequently enough to keep the friction surfaces polished. Check the underside for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe mounting points, as these are common areas for deterioration on vehicles of this age.
