2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · WM11 ABV

The 2011 Nissan Qashqai has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five tests, with the most recent MOT on 17 December 2025 passing without any recorded defects. This suggests the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition mechanically, though the duplicate entry for 17 December 2024—where the test was initially failed before being retested and passed—indicates a minor administrative oversight rather than a recurring mechanical issue. The absence of advisories or recurring faults across all tests implies no persistent problems with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion, which are common failure points at this mileage. However, the lack of defects does not preclude wear that would require inspection, particularly in areas prone to gradual deterioration. The recorded mileage of 113,194 miles over approximately 15 years reflects a steady usage pattern of around 7,500 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest prolonged neglect, though the 2024 retest on the same date—with identical mileage—may indicate a brief delay in scheduling rather than a pattern of deferred maintenance. The consistent annual mileage increments between tests (e.g., 103,336 in November 2023 to 108,402 in December 2024) further supports reliable upkeep, though buyers should verify if the vehicle has been stored or driven under varying conditions. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components such as the suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or cracking, particularly at the front and rear. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these are critical for stopping performance and often develop issues incrementally. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody should also be examined, as this is a common failure mode in older Nissan models. While the MOT record shows no evidence of major faults, these areas are where wear typically manifests beyond what an MOT tester would flag.
