2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · ML61 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean testing record. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 October 2025 at 83,350 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 at 73,789 miles, suggesting that the previous owners proactively addressed any minor issues that might have caused a failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between December 2022 (61,056 miles) and December 2023 (66,997 miles), the car covered only 5,941 miles, showing a trend of light use. The brief failure recorded on 7 October 2024 at 73,785 miles, which was rectified just two days later to pass the test, suggests a minor consumable or light bulb adjustment issue that was quickly resolved rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect, such as rubber-based suspension bushes and tyres, which can perish or crack over time despite minimal use. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, checking for rust on the sills and underbody remains essential given the vehicle's age. The low annual mileage also necessitates verifying that engine fluids and oil have been changed according to time intervals to prevent internal degradation during long periods of standing.
