2011 Nissan Dualis/qashqai 2.0L Petrol · WD61 GFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive repairs. While the car passed its most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 151,781 miles, it failed just one week prior at 151,774 miles. This recent failure identified multiple critical issues including an SRS warning lamp, split CV boots, and extensive suspension wear, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when necessary to pass the annual inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 21,880 miles between the June 2024 test at 129,901 miles and the June 2025 test at 151,781 miles. This high rate of accumulation puts considerable strain on rubber components and mechanical joints, which explains the rapid degradation of the suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bars noted in the 2025 failure report. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the suspension arm bushes and rear anti-roll bar bushes were flagged as excessively worn in both 2023 and 2025. The split CV boots on both front drive shafts require immediate inspection for grease leakage and internal joint damage, as these lead to imminent mechanical failure. Additionally, the persistent oil leak noted in the 2025 test warrants a close look to determine if it is a minor gasket leak or a more significant engine seal failure. Given the SRS warning lamp recorded in 2025, a diagnostic scan is essential to ensure the airbag deployment system is fully cleared and functional.
