4 How it compares with other 2011 Qashqais

Against every Nissan Qashqai first used in 2011 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (30,794 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

Measure	This car	Typical 2011 Qashqai	What it means
Pass rate, first attempts	6 of 13 (46%)	48.3% in 2025	In line with the group figure
Fails, first attempts	6 of 13	45.0% of first tests	In line with the group figure
Fixed during the test (PRS)	1	6.7% of first tests	1 on this record
Mileage at its latest test (23 Mar 2026)	129,658 miles	107,774 (middle half 88,307–128,705)	Above the middle half; not an outlier
Clean passes (no advisories)	1 of 13	15.0% of first tests	Lower than the group figure

"Typical" is every Nissan Qashqai first used in 2011, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car. A first attempt whose faults were all put right during the test counts as fixed during the test (PRS), not as a fail, as in DVSA's figures.
