NISSAN QASHQAI NCONNCTA DIGT MHEV CVT2022 · 1.3L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent MOT history indicates a reactive maintenance approach rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 44,749 miles shows a pass, following a failure just four days prior. While the immediate safety issues regarding the nearside headlamp aim were resolved, the persistence of thin front inner and rear brake pads suggests that the owner only addressed these mechanical components once they threatened an MOT failure. At a recorded 44,749 miles, the Nissan Qashqai has averaged approximately 11,187 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. This consistent usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect. However, the gap between the July 2025 test and the current date means the vehicle is now due for its next annual inspection. The failure on 11 July 2025 due to a nearside rear tyre with a cut reaching the cords and a nail in the tread highlights a lapse in basic daily safety checks. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the record flagged both front inner and rear pads as wearing thin during the same session. You should verify the condition of the brake discs for scoring or thinning, which often occurs when pads are run to their limit. The previous failure regarding tyre sidewall damage necessitates a check of all remaining tyres for impact damage or uneven wear that might be missed. Given the mileage, a close look at the suspension bushes and bushings for signs of wear is also advisable to ensure the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive stress.
