2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna + DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · BF22 ABV

The vehicle presents a very clean and straightforward mechanical history, having passed both of its recorded MOT tests without any defects or advisories. Its latest inspection on 2026-01-07 confirmed its roadworthiness, continuing the consistent trend observed since its first test on 2025-01-14. This indicates a new vehicle that has not yet exhibited any significant mechanical issues requiring attention from the official inspection process. With a recorded mileage of 14,365 miles over approximately four years, this Qashqai has averaged around 3,591 miles per annum. This is a notably low annual accumulation, suggesting light usage, potentially involving shorter journeys or periods where the vehicle has been stationary. While low mileage can correlate with less wear on major drivetrain components, it does not entirely prevent age-related degradation of items such as rubber suspension bushes, tyres, or brake components, particularly if the vehicle has experienced extended periods of inactivity. The consistent annual MOT testing, despite the low mileage, indicates regular checks without significant gaps in its operational history. Given the absence of any specific defects in the MOT history, a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection is paramount to establish the vehicle's current overall mechanical condition. Focus should be placed on general wear items that may not always be flagged in early MOTs unless they are severely compromised. Carefully check the condition of all four tyres for adequate tread depth, even wear across the tread face, and any signs of perishing or cracking on the sidewalls due to age, as they may be original fitments. Inspect the brake discs and pads for excessive wear, surface corrosion, or pitting, which can occur even with low mileage if the vehicle is not driven frequently or if it is subjected to short, infrequent journeys. Listen for any squealing or grinding noises during braking, and feel for any judder through the pedal. Further examination should include the suspension components, such as the coil springs, shock absorbers, and all associated bushes, for any signs of perishing, fluid leaks, or excessive play. Listen for any unusual knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces or speed humps. Verify the full operation of all electrical systems, including the infotainment, climate control, and any advanced driver assistance features, as these are integral to modern vehicles. A thorough test drive is essential to confirm smooth engine operation, precise steering without excessive play, and effective, balanced braking performance. While the MOT record is clear, a professional inspection will provide a current snapshot of the vehicle's overall condition and identify any developing issues not yet severe enough to warrant an MOT advisory.
