2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna E-Power Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · CF72 BVT

The most recent MOT inspection conducted on 05 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, which is consistent with the previous inspection on 30 September 2025. This indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without any immediate mechanical or structural failures identified by the DVSA. The absence of advisories in the recent history is a strong indicator of the vehicle's current mechanical integrity regarding lighting, braking efficiency, and steering components. With a recorded mileage of 24,287 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,072 miles per annum. This represents relatively low annual usage compared to the UK national average, which may suggest the vehicle has been used primarily for short commutes or local trips rather than high-speed motorway cruising. While lower mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushes, it also necessitates a closer inspection for issues related to infrequent use, such as component degradation due to periods of standing. Given the clean MOT history and the lower-than-average mileage, your inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-related failure. Carefully examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur from UV exposure and age even if the tread depth remains high. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, and during your test drive, listen for any signs of binding calipers or uneven braking, which can result from the vehicle being stationary for extended periods. It is also advisable to verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance, such as oil changes and brake fluid replacement, has been carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule rather than solely based on mileage intervals. Furthermore, pay close attention to the condition of the 12V battery and the overall electrical system, as modern e-Power systems rely heavily on stable voltage. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid weeping from seals or hoses, which can sometimes develop when gaskets dry out from under-use. Ensure the air conditioning system is functioning correctly and that there are no unusual noises from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, as rubber components can harden and lose their damping properties over time regardless of the distance travelled.
