2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · YS60 KSV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-19 at 110,770 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, two consecutive failures in March 2026 (110,738 miles) and March 2025 (106,125 miles) without recorded defects suggest potential technical issues that were resolved prior to the latest test. The absence of specific defect details limits definitive analysis, but the pattern of intermittent failures followed by passes implies periodic maintenance or repairs addressing underlying concerns. Mileage progression shows consistent annual usage of approximately 7,385 miles, aligning with typical expectations for a 15-year-old vehicle. The gap between 2024-03-12 (103,169 miles) and 2025-03-07 (106,125 miles) reflects a 2,956-mile increase, while the subsequent 4,545-mile rise between 2025-03-15 and 2026-03-13 suggests steady usage. No significant anomalies in mileage accumulation are evident, though the short interval between the two March 2026 tests (six days apart) raises questions about the nature of the failures and their resolution. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to the potential for wear in high-mileage vehicles. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or corrosion may develop over 15 years. While the MOT records lack specific defect details, the recurring failures highlight the importance of a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
