2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · SL61 BGO

The vehicle's MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of pass results, moving from a failure in February 2024 to a clean pass in the most recent February 2026 test. While the February 2026 record shows both a failure and a subsequent pass on the same day, the final result indicates the vehicle met the minimum requirements for roadworthiness at that time. The absence of recorded defects in the most recent pass suggests no immediate mechanical or structural issues were flagged by the tester during that specific inspection. The recorded mileage of 78,321 miles for a 2011 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 5,221 miles. This represents low-frequency usage over the vehicle's 15-year lifespan. The MOT data shows consistent annual testing, with entries in February 2024, January 2025, and February 2026. The spacing between tests remains regular, suggesting the vehicle has been subject to routine annual inspections despite the low mileage. Because the failure records for February 2024 and February 2026 do not specify the exact nature of the defects, a physical inspection is necessary to identify what caused these unsuccessful tests. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs, and check the suspension for perished bushes or leaking dampers, as these are common items that trigger failures. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion on the underside or exhaust system, as vehicles that undergo long periods of standing can develop structural rust or seized components. buying_score: 68 risk_level: Low.
