2022 NISSAN X-TRAIL TEKNA E-POWER AUTO1.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

This Nissan X-Trail Tekna e-Power passed its most recent MOT test on 5 December 2025 with no defects recorded at 28,259 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status at the time. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle met all mandatory safety and emissions criteria without any recurring issues during the single available test window. However, the lack of prior MOT history means there is no data to assess whether earlier tests revealed any wear patterns or maintenance trends. The current pass does not imply future reliability, as e-Power hybrids can develop specific concerns with high-voltage systems, regenerative braking components, or thermal management over time. The recorded mileage of 28,259 miles over approximately four years—roughly 7,065 miles annually—falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age, though it is slightly lower than the UK average for a four-year-old car. The gap between the last MOT (December 2025) and today (July 2026) means the vehicle has now exceeded its annual test interval by five months, which is legally permissible but raises questions about whether the owner has been proactive with servicing. Without intermediate service records, it is impossible to confirm whether critical components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, or fluid levels have been checked or replaced. The e-Power hybrid system, in particular, demands regular high-voltage inspections, which are not part of the MOT process. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the e-Power hybrid battery and cooling system, as these are the most failure-prone components in this powertrain. The regenerative braking system may exhibit unusual wear patterns on brake discs or pads due to its continuous engagement, so the condition of all four calipers and discs should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding. The suspension geometry—particularly the rear subframe and bushings—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as these can affect handling and alignment. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, the interior and exterior for signs of water ingress or structural corrosion is also advisable, especially around wheel arches and sills. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
