2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · WR11 XEY

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently in the grey zone, with a clear deterioration trend relative to the most recent test on 2025-12-02. The test at 108,697 miles was passed, but the failure on 2025-12-01 indicates that the accumulated mileage has accelerated wear on critical components since the initial inspection. The maintenance history reveals a pattern of rapid mileage accumulation that has exceeded the typical 7,246 miles per year for a 15-year-old car, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped or that the car was driven less frequently than anticipated. The mileage pattern is characterized by rapid accumulation during the 2025 test, which occurred shortly after the initial PASSED date. While the 2025-12-02 test passed with 108,697 miles, the 2025-12-01 failure at 108,697 miles demonstrates that the mileage has increased by approximately 1,000 miles in a single day, a significant gap that contradicts the expectation of steady accumulation over the previous year. This rapid mileage increase suggests that the car has been driven in a manner that places excessive stress on the drivetrain and suspension, potentially leading to premature failure of brake discs, suspension bushings, or other drivetrain components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear in the suspension and brakes, as these are the most common culprits for the flagged issues. The record shows that the suspension arm ball joints have been excessively worn at two different intervals, and the brakes exhibit fluctuating binding conditions without being excessively so. Given the lack of a recent MOT, the buyer should verify that the brake discs are not corroded, that the ball joints are not seized, and that the suspension bushings are not severely cracked. The presence of oil leaks and fuel system component failures also warrants a check for internal leaks and potential overheating issues, which are critical for the longevity of the vehicle.
