2022 Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · BG72 OPV

A consistently clean MOT record across its four‑year life, with passes in both October 2025 and the most recent test on 20 October 2026 and no recorded defects, suggests that the vehicle has not presented any measurable safety or emissions issues to the DVSA during that period. The absence of advisories or failures indicates that, at the times of testing, key systems such as brakes, lights, suspension, and emissions were deemed compliant with legal standards. At 45,342 miles the Qashqai averages roughly 11,300 miles per annum, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a 2022 model. The MOT history shows no gaps longer than twelve months, implying regular testing intervals and no extended periods of inactivity that might have concealed latent corrosion or component deterioration. This mileage level points to moderate wear on consumables—brake pads, tyre tread, and clutch components (if a manual) will have experienced a proportionate service life, while the power‑train and hybrid system should still be within early‑mid‑life thresholds. Although the MOT data reveal no specific faults, a prospective buyer should still verify the condition of wear items that are not captured by the test. During a road‑check, listen for any metallic clunk or knock when traversing bumps, which could indicate deteriorating suspension bushes or loose subframe mounts. Assess the brake pedal for a firm, consistent feel and watch for any pulsation or increased pedal travel that might hint at emerging disc or pad wear despite the clean record. Examine tyre sidewalls and tread depth for uneven wear patterns that could betray mis‑alignment or worn steering components. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection should also include a visual check of the hybrid battery cooling system, coolant levels, and any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay, as these are not flagged by MOT unless they pose an immediate safety risk. Confirm that the exhaust emits a clean, blue‑free plume at idle and under light acceleration, and verify that all electronic aids—such as lane‑assist and adaptive cruise control—operate without warning messages. A full service history review, where available, will complement the MOT data and give a clearer picture of routine maintenance adherence.
