2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · SP58 AAA

The 2011 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent DVSA test on 23 May 2025 at 105,213 miles produced a pass with no defects recorded, and the four prior annual examinations similarly returned clean results. This unbroken sequence of certificates indicates the maintenance trend is steady rather than worsening or resolving from fault. Mileage progression across the record shows a pronounced slowdown. The June 2021 test logged 96,534 miles, rising to 100,433 by May 2022, then 102,675 in June 2023, 104,309 in June 2024, and 105,213 in May 2025. Annual distance travelled dropped from 3,899 miles to under 1,000 miles in the final year. Such low recent accumulation suggests the previous owner curtailed use or stored the car for long intervals. The absence of any advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes or corrosion points to statutory upkeep being met, though sparse defect data limits deeper insight into component condition. Prospective buyers should still scrutinise mechanical items prone to age-related deterioration. DVSA testers recorded no binding rear calipers, worn suspension bushes or exhaust emissions breaches, but a vehicle left standing can hide seized linkages and incipient rust. We advise a ramp inspection of front lower arms, rear coil springs and subframe structural integrity before purchase. Verify brake disc thickness and tyre sidewall condition personally, as consumable wear escapes annual recording when within limits.
