2022 Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · DU22 AKZ

This Nissan Qashqai has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with both recent tests—conducted on 25 February 2026 and 4 March 2025—resulting in clean passes at 10,630 and 7,825 miles respectively. No defects or advisories were recorded during either inspection, indicating the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical or structural issues requiring attention. The absence of failings suggests the previous owners adhered to basic maintenance, though the low mileage accumulation means wear patterns remain largely speculative without further inspection. The most recent test, just five months ago, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current roadworthiness standards, though the short interval between tests does not provide insight into intermediate wear. The recorded mileage of 10,630 miles over approximately four years—roughly 2,658 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Qashqai’s typical usage patterns. The gap between tests, spanning 19 months (from 7,825 to 10,630 miles), suggests either minimal driving or extended periods of storage. Such low mileage could imply reduced wear on high-usage components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain, but it also raises questions about potential neglect in other areas, such as fluid changes or minor servicing that might not directly affect MOT pass criteria. Without additional service records, it is impossible to confirm whether critical maintenance—such as brake fluid replacement, timing belt inspection, or suspension bush checks—has been performed on schedule. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection focusing on components that are not directly tested during MOTs but are critical to long-term reliability. The suspension system, particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are not routinely assessed unless visibly failing. Brake discs and calipers, though not flagged in MOTs, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, especially given the low mileage which could mask gradual degradation. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around wheel arches and sills, must also be inspected, as prolonged periods of standing can accelerate rust formation. Finally, the hybrid/electric components—such as battery health and hybrid-specific wiring—should be checked, though these are beyond the scope of a standard MOT. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to validate the absence of hidden issues.
