2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna + DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · BU10 GEE

The vehicle passed its single recorded MOT on 14 May 2025 with no advisories or defects, producing the cleanest possible outcome from a DVSA test. With only one entry on file and no prior failures, advisories, or component flags for comparison, no trend can be established in either direction. The record is simply too sparse to support any claim about a stable, worsening, or improving maintenance pattern, and a clean single pass on its own cannot be interpreted as evidence of long-term mechanical condition. Mileage progression is exceptionally modest for a four-year-old crossover. At 11,768 recorded miles against an age of roughly four years, the annual average is approximately 2,942 miles per year, well below typical usage levels for this class of vehicle. Low mileage reduces wear on major mechanical components such as the brake discs, clutch, suspension bushes, and drivetrain, but it can also indicate prolonged periods of standing, which brings its own concerns. Standing vehicles are prone to dried rubber seals, corroded brake calipers, degraded brake fluid, perished coolant hoses, and tyre sidewall cracking from constant load on one spot. Any physical inspection should pay particular attention to these age-related rather than mileage-related deterioration points. A buyer should arrange a hands-on pre-purchase inspection regardless of the clean MOT, given the limited data available. Particular attention should go to the brake caliper slide pins, which corrode quickly on lightly used cars, and to the condition of the tyres, checking for sidewall cracking or uneven flat spotting caused by stationary periods. The 12-volt battery, oil, and coolant should be checked for date stamps, as these consumables degrade with calendar age rather than mileage. Finally, it is worth verifying that the vehicle has a documented service history outside the MOT record, since the MOT test alone does not cover engine, transmission, or hybrid system health, and a single pass at low mileage tells the buyer very little about what lies beneath. Buying score: 50. Risk level: Medium.
