2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · NG11 KLC

The 2011 Nissan Qashqai shows a stable maintenance record with no defects or advisories across all five MOT tests, including the most recent examination on 25 November 2025 at 63,854 miles. The vehicle has passed every test without fail, suggesting consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. However, the record does include an unusual duplicate entry for January 2023—one pass and one fail at identical mileage—though this appears to be an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. No recurring faults or advisories indicate ongoing problems with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding brakes, or structural corrosion, which is reassuring for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression of approximately 4,257 miles per year is unusually low for a 15-year-old SUV, particularly given the Qashqai’s typical usage patterns. Between January 2023 and November 2025, the vehicle accumulated just 10,887 miles—a gap of nearly 2.5 years with minimal movement. This suggests either very light usage, extended periods of storage, or potential odometer manipulation, though the latter is less likely given the consistent increments. The most recent test was conducted just six months ago, placing it well within the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for vehicles under 3 years old, though technically it remains valid until 24 November 2026. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested under MOT but critical for long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the rear subframe mounts and front strut bearings—given the vehicle’s age and low mileage, which may mask hidden wear from prolonged static loading. Examine the brake calipers and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, as binding calipers are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as rust can develop even in lightly used cars exposed to UK road conditions. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional checks are essential.
