NISSAN QASHQAI N-CONNECTA E-POWER A2023 · 1.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 1 September 2025 at 70,480 miles, passed with zero defects. A retest on the same day at 70,479 miles also passed cleanly after a failure that carried no recorded defects, suggesting a minor or administrative issue was resolved immediately. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults appearing across the entire history. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a 2023-registered vehicle. Between the first test on 17 October 2023 at 40,403 miles and the most recent on 1 September 2025 at 70,480 miles, the car covered 30,077 miles in just under two years, averaging roughly 15,000 miles per year in that window. The jump from 52,899 miles on 16 September 2024 to 70,480 miles by 1 September 2025 alone accounts for 17,581 miles in under twelve months. This is consistent with sustained long-distance or high-frequency use rather than light urban commuting. Despite the heavy mileage, the absence of any advisories or failures across all five recorded tests is a strong indicator of sound mechanical upkeep. High-mileage vehicles typically show earlier wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and calipers, yet none of these components have drawn a flag. The e-power hybrid system, including its regenerative braking integration, has not triggered any emissions or brake-related defects either. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on the areas that high mileage naturally stresses. Check the condition of the front and rear brake pads and discs for uneven wear or scoring, inspect the suspension bushes and drop links for play, and examine the underside and wheel arches for any corrosion or structural deterioration. The tyres deserve close scrutiny given the mileage rate, as uneven wear patterns could hint at alignment or suspension geometry issues not yet severe enough to fail an MOT. The hybrid battery's state of health and the exhaust system's integrity, particularly around joints and mounting points, warrant a diagnostic check. The MOT record is reassuring, but the car's usage intensity demands a careful physical examination before purchase.
