Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this vehicle, you should request evidence that the faults identified in the October 2025 failure—specifically the CV boot, the SRS (airbag) warning lamp, and the suspension bushes—have been professionally rectified. The SRS warning lamp is a critical safety concern that must be investigated by a technician to ensure the airbag system is functional.
Negotiate based on the recorded history of brake wear and oil leaks. While the 2025 pass indicates these were addressed or within limits, the frequency of brake-related failures in 2023 and 2024 suggests you should check the remaining life of the discs and pads. Ask for a service history to see if the oil leak noted in 2023 and 2025 has been investigated or if it is a known, slow weep.
The 1598cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band for a vehicle of this age. Fuel economy for this era of Qashqai is typically average for a compact crossover, though real-world figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs should be factored in higher than average due to the recurring nature of suspension and braking issues seen in the MOT records. Expect to budget for periodic replacement of suspension arm bushes and brake components. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £1,200-£1,500, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension. The MOT history shows repeated issues with suspension arm pins and bushes in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Check for any knocking or creaking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces.
Secondly, inspect the engine bay for signs of the oil leak mentioned in the 2023 and 2025 MOT tests. While the records state it was 'not excessive', it is a recurring theme. Finally, ensure the SRS/airbag warning light is not illuminated on the dashboard, as this was a specific failure point in October 2025.
This 2011 silver Nissan Qashqai with the 1.6L petrol engine has covered 72,025 miles, which is lower than the model average. However, the MOT history shows a pattern of recurring advisories and failures, specifically regarding suspension bushes, brake wear, and an ongoing oil leak. The most recent MOT in October 2025 passed, but only after addressing several significant faults identified in the previous test.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.5% MOT pass rate, suggesting a moderate level of reliability across the fleet.
