2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · BJ22 KFC

Brake pad wear dominates the recent MOT picture, with advisories noting both front and rear pads approaching the minimum thickness, while the test itself was passed on 11 September 2026. The presence of three separate tyre advisories – a slightly damaged off‑side rear tyre, a nail embedded in the same tyre, and the near‑side rear tyre worn close to the legal limit – adds a further consumable‑related focus, yet no outright failures have been recorded, indicating the vehicle has remained within the statutory limits for the inspected items. At 44 367 mi the Qashqai has accumulated roughly 11 000 mi per year since its 2022 registration, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within the typical UK usage band for a family SUV. The MOT history shows regular annual testing with a single additional test in May 2025, suggesting the vehicle has been kept on the road without prolonged periods of inactivity. This moderate annual mileage points to average wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but also means that consumables such as brake pads and tyres are likely to be reaching the end of their service life sooner rather than later. Prospective buyers should give the brake system close attention. Thin pads often manifest as a reduced pedal travel, a higher pedal bite point, or a faint squeal when applying the brakes, especially under moderate deceleration. A road‑test that includes firm stops from 30 mph down to 10 mph will help confirm whether the pads are still providing consistent friction or if there is any pulsation that could hint at warped discs. Given the dual‑front and rear advisories, budgeting for a full brake‑pad set replacement – and a possible disc resurfacing or replacement if uneven wear is detected – is prudent. Tyre condition warrants immediate scrutiny. The off‑side rear tyre shows signs of cracking and contains a nail, both of which can lead to rapid pressure loss or a blow‑out, while the near‑side rear tyre is already near the legal tread limit. A visual inspection should confirm the extent of the cracking, the integrity of the sidewalls, and the presence of any bulges or foreign objects. A tyre‑pressure check, a tread‑depth measurement, and a brief high‑speed run will reveal any vibration or pull that could indicate uneven wear or internal damage. The minor windscreen chip recorded in May 2025 should be examined for propagation; while it does not affect visibility now, any growth could become a future safety concern. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection that includes these focused checks will give a clear picture of the remaining service life of the vehicle’s critical safety components.
