2011 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Diesel · SH11 ACJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 March 2025 at 166,725 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed just days later, suggesting that minor defects are addressed only when prompted by inspection rather than as part of a preventative maintenance schedule. At 166,725 miles, the Qashqai averages approximately 11,115 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a diesel vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 7,400 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 7,500 miles recorded between March 2024 and March 2025. This regularity indicates the vehicle is subjected to frequent road use, which helps prevent the seal-related degradation often associated with long periods of standing. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three tests is unusual for a high-mileage vehicle of fifteen years. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically the control arm bushes and shock absorbers, which typically show wear at this interval. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion on the subframe and brake pipe lines is also essential, as the MOT does not always flag early-stage surface rust until it affects structural integrity.
