2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SH11 ACY

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy following a failed MOT test on 9 April 2026 at 95,585 miles. The maintenance trend appears erratic. While the car has passed several tests, it has failed three times in the last three years, often requiring a re-test shortly after the initial failure. The most recent failure leaves the vehicle without a valid certificate as of July 2026. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,372 miles per year. Between 15 April 2024 and 24 April 2025, the vehicle covered 4,333 miles. The distance traveled between the April 2025 pass and the April 2026 failure was 2,691 miles. This suggests a decrease in annual usage over the last eighteen months. The MOT record is unusually clean regarding specific defect descriptions, as no technical faults were listed despite multiple failures. This lack of data makes it difficult to identify recurring mechanical trends. A buyer must verify why the vehicle failed on 11 March 2024, 14 April 2025, and 9 April 2026 if the tester recorded no specific defects. A physical inspection should focus on common Qashqai failure points that may have been omitted from the summary. Check for corrosion on the rear subframe and suspension arms. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and the calipers for binding, especially given the vehicle's age. Verify the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes to ensure no structural degradation has occurred during the periods of lower usage.
