2021 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · AV71 HMC

This Nissan Qashqai has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past three tests, with the most recent inspection on 27 March 2026 confirming no defects. The vehicle’s roadworthiness trend remains stable, as all three consecutive tests—including the latest—recorded clean passes without advisories or failings. This suggests the tester did not identify any recurring mechanical issues requiring attention during standard MOT checks, though it does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 17,665 miles over approximately five years indicates unusually low annual usage, averaging just 3,533 miles per year. This pattern could imply the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may accelerate certain forms of degradation—such as brake fluid degradation, suspension corrosion from prolonged exposure, or battery sulphation—even if MOT tests have not yet flagged these. The gap between tests is standard, with each MOT occurring around a year apart, but the low mileage raises questions about whether the vehicle has been driven regularly enough to prevent stagnant fluid or rust development in underbody components. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear consumables that are not routinely tested, such as brake fluid condition (for potential moisture contamination) and suspension bushes (which can degrade even with minimal movement). The absence of advisories or defects does not rule out binding brake calipers, worn coil springs, or subtle corrosion in wheel arches or subframes, particularly if the vehicle has been stored without protection. Tyre condition should also be verified, as the lack of MOT warnings on tread depth could mask uneven wear from improper alignment or prolonged underinflation. Structural integrity checks, including underbody and wheel arch corrosion, are warranted given the low mileage and potential for rust acceleration during periods of inactivity.
