2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · YC11 CTV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on January 20, 2026, at 144,946 miles where it passed with no defects. This clean result followed a failure just eleven days prior at 144,921 miles, suggesting the owner was proactive in rectifying minor issues immediately to secure a pass. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that major mechanical components are currently being maintained to a consistent standard, despite the vehicle's age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between the February 2024 and January 2025 tests, the car covered 5,144 miles, while the subsequent year saw an increase of 5,983 miles leading up to the January 2026 tests. This suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for seals, gaskets, and battery components in an older Qashqai. It prevents stagnation that often leads to fluid-related failures. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. Given the high mileage and typical wear patterns for this model, the rubber bushes in the front arms are likely showing signs of cracking that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they become severe. You should also check for corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust mounting, as these are common points of structural degradation on this generation of Nissan that may remain hidden during a standard test inspection.
