2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SH11 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend following a minor historical failure. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 94,012 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes since early 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and safety components have been maintained effectively over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-moderate usage, averaging approximately 6,267 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage recorded between April 2023 and April 2024, where the vehicle covered 17,865 miles in a single year, compared to the much lower 1,635 miles driven between June 2022 and April 2023. Despite this spike, the total mileage remains relatively low for a 15-year-old vehicle, which generally implies less wear on the drivetrain compared to high-mileage examples. While the recent MOT history is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common Qashqai points of failure. The failure in May 2022 at 68,467 miles suggests a specific issue required rectification, though the exact defect was not listed in the summary. Given the age of the vehicle, focus the inspection on structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points, as these are prone to degradation regardless of mileage. Additionally, check the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking or tearing, as these components age over time even on cars that are not driven frequently.
